How not to do bilingual signage

Stornoway town centre. Not only is the English too small to read but the use of brackets is completely incorrect!

Stornoway direction sign

On the Western Isles anything goes - brackets around destinations as well as the road numbers (but not for the first 2 destinations for some reason), and don't get me started on the size of the English text!

Stornoway roundabout sign

On the Western Isles anything goes - brackets around destinations as well as the road numbers (but not for all destinations for some reason), and don't get me started on the size of the English text!

Stornoway sign

On the Western Isles anything goes - the road straight ahead is actually the A866 and the one to the right the B8027 (not mentioned on the sign), the brackets are around the destinations for the road on the right rather than just the road number, and don't get me started on the size of the English text! It's also right outside the council offices so the roads department clearly don't care about their signage!
