The "new" John O' Groats Signpost is not in Gaelic!

[richardj]

Yesterday we went up to John O' Groats for lunch and I was surprised to see a new signpost at John O' Groats where visitors are not ripped off for taking a picture near the signpost. Of course tourists can still pay for a photograph at the original signpost as it has been relocated over in the caravan car park area. I did not see many tourists at the old signpost, nor at John O' Groats.

Interestingly the new signpost is not in Gaelic as it is a private signpost I was told, not put up by the Highland Council.

It should be in Dutch. Jan de Groote was Dutch and there's no record of him having spoke gaelic,:lol:

They appear to have pre-empted a Yes vote on the 25th of September, when Orkney, Shetland and the Westerns Isles becomes a republic, and relieve Highland Council of their obligations to provide Gaelic signs.
