“Much merriment was caused this summer
when someone realised, and publicised
through the media, that something crucial was
missing from a sign which welcomed visitors
to Rothesay (Baile Bhòid, ‘town of Bute’) with
the Gaelic: “Fàilte gu Baile Bhòid – An doras
gu bòidhchead Eilean Bhoid”. Instead of
“Welcome to Rothesay – the gateway to
beauty of island of Bute” the omission of the
fada or length marker, in the final word,
turned the name into ‘Penis Island’.”
