The now extinct Bra Fence

It's a "Local Custom" but maybe it's mostly visitors to Cardrona who build this fence. It just evolved probably with someone finding a bra and hanging it on the fence. Now there are hundreds and it just keeps getting bigger. Situated near the Cardrona Skifield entrance, and in front of the airfield, it's pretty easy to spot as you drive along the Cardrona Road.
Obviously this has become an "attraction" especially for people (such as myself!) stopping and taking photos. Now (Nov 2005) beaurocracy in it's infinite wisdom, has decided to declare this fence is a "sign" and must come under the laws for signs. That means it must comply with strength and construction restrictions as for signs. So we will see how this develops........
