About this puzzle
Craig Ferguson, a 22-year-old from Paisley, Scotland, set off on foot from Los Angeles in late February 2026 with one goal: to reach Boston in time to watch Scotland play in their first FIFA World Cup in 28 years. He called it the 'Tartan Trek' — a journey of more than 3,000 miles, walking the equivalent of a full marathon every single day for over 100 consecutive days, wearing a kilt the entire way.
Ferguson passed through Arizona, Colorado, Ohio, Washington D.C., and New York City before arriving at Boston Common on June 12, 2026, where he was greeted by cheering crowds and members of the Tartan Army. He undertook the challenge to raise money for Scottish Action for Mental Health (SAMH), in tribute to his best friend's father, who died by suicide seven years earlier. His goal was to raise £1 million, and on the final day of his walk, he received a £400,000 donation from the Scottish government, pushing him toward his target.
Along the way, Ferguson met Scottish celebrities including singer Lewis Capaldi and even took part in the coin toss before a Scotland friendly match in New York. After finishing his walk, his kilt — torn and worn from four months on the road — was lost when his mother's suitcase went missing in a New York City subway station. Ferguson took the loss in stride, joking that the kilt now 'belongs to the USA.'
