Why must I pay to promote a culture foreign to me?

I NOTE that even more signs in Gaelic are to appear on our roads to "promote cultural identity" ("Gaelic for all major roads", The Herald, June 25).

My ancestry has been traced back some 300 years. As far as I can determine every person noted was a Lowland Scot, and I do not believe any spoke Gaelic. I am neither proud nor ashamed of this.
