Gorse and broom are two plants which were brought to Scotland by settlers back in the 1800s. They grow wildly and are havens for pests – so not everyone is that excited about the plant-bearing immigrants. (See yellow flowers in the picture.)
However, someone did write a poem about the broom -
WHEN THE BROOM IS OUT OF BLOOM
THE LOVE IS OUT OF TUNE.
Not sure about the romanticism in basing your love on weeds, but so be it.

August 12th – called The Glorious Twelfth is grouse hunting day in Scotland.

Sign – No articulated vehicles. (A vehicle such as a double semi that can bend to make turns.)

Back of menu – Make haste to return.

Instead of signs saying to “watch your head” – they say “mind your head.
