Where there's Muck....
Hutton Think Tank have been asked by VisitScotland to analyse the quantity and quality of public signs/notices in the Merse area providing warm greetings and other information for visitors. At the bottom of the numerical list with three sightings is 'Welcome to Scotland' , 'Scottish Borders, Scotland's Favourite Short Break Destination' just avoids relegation with four. The Top Three in ascending order are : 3rd: (45 sightings) Signs for Dog Pooh Disposal; 2nd: 'You are Being Watched-Neighbourhood Watch (51) and in runaway top spot: 'Mud on Road' (108)
The last group are invariably home made and also win the quality category.
Well done our public spirited farmers. And if as much energy was put into actually clearing the mud as warning about it.
We would be even more delighted

We used to have an 'Eggs - Duck & Hen' sign but we no longer have any hens or ducks so the sign went as well.
