BOSTON locals have been taught the Slosh by Scots as the Tartan Army as the transatlantic friendship continues to flourish.
At the Ned Devine's Irish Pub, members of the Tartan Army taught regulars the Slosh – a well-known west of Scotland dance – and a local instructor has pledged to teach it for the rest of the week.
Footage shared online shows Scots in kilts and football strips on the dancefloor while the classic anthem plays.
Line dance instructor and DJ Jason Peterson, based in the Boston area, shared the video on his business' social media accounts, writing "this is exactly why I love what we do".

He added: "Line dancing is all about community, but last night that community went global!
"Tartan Army y'all are legendary! We love your energy, camaraderie, and spirit!
"Huge shout out to the Tartan Army for bringing their legendary energy to Ned Devine's! Thanks for teaching us the Slosh, singing along to 500 miles, and celebrating culture and friendship with us! Last night was one for the history books!
"Let's repeat it all week long! 100% teaching the slosh all week, playing your fight songs, and enjoying great times with great people."
What is the Slosh?
The majority of people in the west of Scotland have an innate ability to perform the Slosh, a line dancing type repetitive dance.
In fact, the most common song people dance the Slosh to is Beautiful Sunday by Daniel Boone.
According to an article published on April 29 1972, in the former British weekly music magazine Melody Maker, the Slosh originated in Wigan.
Even at the time, no-one knew who came up with the dance.
