Yes, Brian, and if you're referring to Gaelic, it's a complete nonsense! It was never was spoken throughout Scotland, being restricted to the north and west. Its "revival" is just another marketing ploy by the SNP;we're seeing bilingual road signs in areas of Scotland that have never spoken the language..ever!  However, I probably shouldn't be surprised after the same corrupted approach was applied to tartan and kilts in the 19th century.

...and then there are the road signs in Northumberland urging drivers to 'Gan Canny'! Wonder what the French (or even the English or the Scots) think of that.

Brian (who thinks all English road signs should be in Anglo-Saxon, which would make it much easier for the German visitors to our shores  :o )

What about all those Albanian Royal Air Force signs in Wales  ???
As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Oh I see silly me bit slow on the ole uptake this morning. Yep got loads of them round here doesn't seem to make any difference to the muppets who tear through our village at speeds they shouldn't be doing even with raised platforms, speed restriction humps, flashing signs etc. etc. Some of the worst offenders...public service vehicles!
