WE all have our different ways to deal with excitement. One Scotland football fan has mapped out a unique tribute to the Euros squad.
David Little's 'street map' was created in honour of the national men's team after the broke a 23-year-long tournament drought by qualifying.
It's the first time they've done so during Little's lifetime so he visited a street that shares part of the name of each of the 26 named squad members.
It took, he told followers on social media, "several stupidly long walks, runs, cycles and bus/train journeys".
But his mission is now complete and it's a beauty.
Could it become a route of pilgrimage for the Tartan Army? Stranger things have happened.
Here's his work in all its glory, featuring Gilmour Place, Gordon Street and many more.
To mark Scotland qualifying for the first major tournament in my lifetime, I decided to visit a street for each of the 26 named Scotland #EURO2020 squad members. Several stupidly long walks, runs, cycles and bus/train journeys later, I finally completed my mission. pic.twitter.com/vydFp2vcKO

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
