We had kin visit from Scotland over the holidays, and one was telling me as they replace street signs in Edinburgh (the capitol), the names will now show the street names in English and in Gaelic. Too expensive for the thrifty Scots to do it all at once, just as street signs need replaced. When we visited the Isle of Skye, I noticed all the street signs there were in both languages.

Seems super obvious to me. I think we can all agree England is the enemy!
