Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Border sign entering Scotland from England on the A74(M) motorway
Used in	Global usage en:A74(M) and M74 motorways
Reason	The sign is bilingual - being in English at the top and Scottish Gaelic at the bottom. -- DeFacto (talk).
Review (criteria)	Comment - File:Failte Scottish.jpg seems clearer to me as a thumbnail. Why isn't it? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:11, 2 May 2017 (UTC) @Ikan Kekek: that other photo would have been very much easier to photograph, being on a regular public road! The one I nominated is on the iconic main motorway entering Scotland from England, the AA74(M) (the M6 in England), which thousands of vehicle pass into Scotland on each day. Thus this photo was taken through a car windscreen travelling at speed! Pedestrians, cyclists, and other low speed traffic is banned from this road and it is illegal to stop other than in an emergency (which wouldn't include taking a photo for Wiki commons ;-)). DeFacto (talk). 06:19, 2 May 2017 (UTC) I understand.  Support - Best in scope. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:41, 2 May 2017 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
