Tourist Information Signs

Newton Stewart Tourist Information Signs

When I first came to visit Newton Stewart I was on holiday and as a tourist to the area you are reliant on signs to show you where everything is. We especially wanted to know the directions to the swimming pool and the museum. I would have thought these were common places for tourists to want to visit.

There are the traditional looking tourist information looking signs in the town, which was great. Until we discovered that they are pointing the wrong way and took us on a wild goose chase.

These signs aren't important when you're a local because you already know where everything is, but as a visitor it's very frustrating when they are wrong, and it gives a bad impression of this wonderful old town.

Today I have filled in an online form with the council for them to correct these signs. They will keep an updated progress report here...
