MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) \u2014 The loveable kilt-wearing, bagpipe-playing members of the Tartan Army quickly discovered the reality of Miami\u2019s summer heat at the World Cup.<\/p>\n

Many of Scotland\u2019s most dedicated fans took over South Florida\u2019s beaches and bars ahead of Wednesday\u2019s match against Brazil and were greeted with temperatures peaking at 93 degrees Fahrenheit (34 degrees Celsius) in Miami Gardens.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now in this kilt, I am sweating,\u201d said Hayden Sutherland, one of the thousands of fans who made the journey to the U.S. for Scotland\u2019s first World Cup appearance since 1998. \u201cAbsolutely sweating. It\u2019s crazy heat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cloud cover provided some relief for fans at the home stadium of the NFL\u2019s Miami Dolphins \u2014 solace some haven\u2019t felt since their traveling tour took them from Boston to Miami.<\/p>\n

The Tartan Army wouldn\u2019t have fared much better back home, however, as Scotland is in the midst of a rare heat wave. On Tuesday, temperatures peaked at a surprising high of around 84 degrees F (29 degrees C).<\/p>\n

But the humidity in Miami, fluctuating around 63-66% in the afternoons, remained relentless.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been to warmer places, but the humidity is just killing me,\u201d said Peter Wright, another Scottish fan. \u201cHere, I can walk 100 meters and I\u2019ve got a bit of sweat on. In Boston, I was walking miles and it was lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wright, along with many other Scotland fans, wore a traditional knee-length kilt wrapped around his waist. Some said their kilts offered relief, while others found that they only added to the discomfort.<\/p>\n

Outside the stadium, Scotland supporters were fanning themselves and trying to find shaded areas.<\/p>\n

How are the Scots managing to cope?<\/p>\n

\u201cJust beer,\u201d said Wayne Sutherland, Hayden\u2019s father. \u201cWe\u2019re two Scots. No water, just beer.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As the Tartan Army takeover has gone from Boston to Miami, bars have struggled to keep up with the high demand for beer. While the fans were greeted with a \u201cbeer barge\u201d in Miami, bars in Boston struggled as the visitors drank their way through the city.<\/p>\n

Despite the challenges, the Tartan Army has shown that nothing can deter them from the experience of following Scotland. They barely sat during Wednesday\u2019s 3-0 loss to Brazil despite their team trailing from the seventh minute.<\/p>\n

And they belted out \u201cNo Scotland, No Party\u201d all throughout the day.<\/p>\n
