Three inaccurate road signs for Perth and Kinross places have sparked confusion and concern.
Two of the signs have misspellings while another claims a Perthshire village has moved four miles closer than it actually is.
The latest sign blunder appeared on one of Scotland's main trunk roads - the A9 - this month.
Highland Perthshire SNP councillor Mike Williamson could not believe his eyes when he saw the huge new sign erected at the side of the A9. The gigantic green signs directs drivers off the A9 to "Ballinguig" rather than Ballinluig. Great care has however been taken to add the correct Gaelic spelling of the village as "Baile an Luig".
Bailie Williamson said: "When I first saw the pictures on social media I thought that it was a delayed April Fool's joke.
"It goes to show we can all make mistakes, but some are a bit more embarrassing.
"The new sign has created a plenty of comments on social media and caused a lot of amusement locally."
BEAR Scotland - who installed the sign - is now working to replace the sign.
A BEAR Scotland spokesperson said: "Unfortunately, during the manufacturing process a spelling mistake was made. This has been raised with our supplier and they are making arrangements for a replacement to be made as soon as possible.
"Removing it in the meantime would have left the slip road without a direction sign, so for safety reasons the sign with the erroneous spelling has been left in place, to make sure unfamiliar road users looking for Aberfeldy are able to find their destinations as well as being aware of the approaching slip road.”
Meanwhile a road sign in Perthshire's Carse of Gowrie has left locals there scratching their heads in confusion.
