Scottish World Cup cone tradition celebrated with official Boston welcome

A commemorative orange traffic cone, symbolizing fans' statue-coning antics, has arrived in Boston for a charity tour.

• Governor Maura Healey and Mayor Michelle Wu greeted the cone at Logan airport; Healey joked about Scottish fans depleting Boston's beer supply.
• Scottish fans placed orange cones on statues including Samuel Adams and Red Auerbach during the World Cup, inspiring the commemorative cone.
• The decorated cone will visit Massachusetts landmarks for a week to raise funds for mental health charities, then return to Scotland.
