A TARTAN Army dad has sent an unbelievable email to his child’s school as Scotland fans begin to make their way to Germany for the Euros.
In a post on Twitter/X, Iain Meiklejohn shared a screenshot of the email, where he said his child would be going on an “educational trip” to study “the extreme emotional highs and lows that only a Scotland fan goes through”.
The email reads: “Hi!
“I am just writing to inform you that Aleks will not be attending school from Thursday, June 13th until whenever Scotland are eliminated from Euro 2024.

“We will be going on an educational trip through Germany visiting several cities where we will study the extreme emotional highs and lows that only a Scotland fan goes through.
“I will ensure Aleks completes a report on his return in full detail.
“M’on Scotland!!”
Meiklejohn said he had not yet received a response from the school, which is set to finish for the summer holidays at the end of June.
Scotland’s first match in the Euros will be against Germany on Friday.
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!
