A Scottish football fan has transformed his back garden into a stunning sports bar complete with a Tennent's tap and Scotland memorabilia.
A Tartan Army foot soldier has finally completed a five-year project to transform his back garden into a spectacular sports bar . Chris ‘Gibbo’ Gibson founded the North East Tartan Army in 2016 - and he's now created the stunning boozer - complete with its own Tennent's tap and pool table - for him and his pals to watch games. Based in Maud, a little Aberdeenshire village with very little pubs nearby - the group now have their very own Scotland themed sports bar at the back of Gibbo's home.
The 48-year-old, who is a builder by trade, first got the idea to build a small shed when the 2020 Euros was postponed during the pandemic, but finally completed the project after this year's tournament. This summer, Chris took part in Tennent’s 'Race to Germany' and after the epic dash across Europe the brewers came and fitted his bar - dubbed 'The Terrace' - with its own tap. The bar has also been kitted out with Tartan Army memorabilia, a foosball table and a number of murals displaying national team heroes. Chris said: 'After I showed Tennent’s the pictures of the project, they came up and fitted the tap for me, which was amazing. I already had the cooler and a few taps, but now we have the Tennent's keg too.' Chris now uses The Terrace as a base for North East Tartan Army AGMs as well as for various other charity events and parties. Scotland legend Colin Hendry even joined them on their latest 15 mile fundraising trek from Peterhead to the home. Chris laughed: 'Colin joined us which was great, but he said it's the first time he's ever done one of his talks from a back garden. 'We'll be doing another charity walk in March and he'll be coming with us again for that. We don't miss many away games these days but a big group of us watched the Gibraltar match in the bar ahead of the Euros this summer. 'We also watch some league football here at weekends and it's just a good place to chill out. You would never know how extravagant it is from the roa
