Workmen install Fourth Valley Collage sign outside Forth Valley College

Workmen who installed a bus shelter at a new college managed to make two spelling blunders. The £29 million Forth Valley College campus in Stirling will welcome their first students later this year.

Lecturers hope they will be able to spell better than those who put a sign on the bus stop that reads “Fourth Valley Collage”. The college’s deputy ­principal Dr Ken Thomson saw the funny side.



He said: “Forth Valley College prides itself on ­delivering excellence in learning and we recognise a mistake has been made on the signage. I must also say, we do have a sense of humour.”

Stirling Council have now covered the sign and will replace it by the end of the week. A spokesman said: “The college is not ‘fourth’ in any way. I’m just glad the shelter wasn’t erected back-to-front.”
