**Today in Scottish History**

On this day in 1977 Wembley Stadium was vandalised by jubilant Scottish fans after a thrilling 2-1 victory over the Auld Enemy. Following the match, Scottish supporters invaded the pitch and caused an estimated £15,000 worth of damage.
One of those on the pitch was pop star Rod Stewart.

The King's Birthday riots happened in Edinburgh on 4th May 1792.
The decade saw repeated outbreaks of civil unrest in Scotland, with the King's Birthday riots being the most serious. Usually seen as a time of celebration, the King's birthday became the main focus for discontent in the country. The riots were almost certainly planned well in advance of the date, with pamphlets attacking the Lord Advocate, Dundas, widely distributed throughout the country. An effigy of Dundas was burned in Edinburgh as the rioting reached its peak. The riots lasted for over three days and nights, with at least one rioter shot dead. One theory blamed rising food prices as the cause of the unrest, after the introduction of the unpopular 1791 Corn Law, which prohibited grain imports until prices reached a certain point.
