Gaelic road signs - I see them as a complete and utter waste of money. But never thought they could be a source of possible amusement ! Here are a few articles on English/Welsh road signs which have the English correct but the Welsh means something completely different !
I wondered if anyone knew of anything similar in the Highlands ?

The Welsh on this one reads (literally) "bladder inflammation upset"
