In Scottish Gaelic, the question should have read “A bheil an t-acras ort?”

A Glasgow Airport spokesperson told STV News that the translation error was quickly removed by the airport partner responsible after being spotted.
On Tuesday the airport thanked language learning app Duolingo, which offers a Gaelic course, while sharing a new photo of the sign changed to the correct translation.
