Bosses of a Scottish pub have highlighted a very good reason for men to use their urinals.
A Canadian writer visiting the Lismore snapped and shared a photo of an unusual plaque in the gents toilets.
The watering hole's now infamous urinal has a sign which invites visitors to ‘pay respect’ to three unnamed men who participated in the Highland Clearances.
The clearances were the forced the evictions of the residents of Highlands and western islands of Scotland, and resulted in the destruction of the traditional clan society.
After Anne Theriault posted a photo of the sign on Twitter it quickly went viral, receiving thousands of reactions, reports the Daily Record .

The sign, in the pub in Partick, Glasgow, reads: “This urinal is dedicated to three men who participated in the Scottish Highland Clearances.
"These men took part in what is now recognised as a form of Central Government endorsed ethnic cleansing.
“Through their greed and bigotry, they and others have been instrumental in destroying a centuries old Scottish Highland way of life.
“Please feel free to pay them the respect they deserve.”

Ms Theriault, a writer from Canada, spotted the somewhat sarcastic tribute and tweeted to her nearly 50k followers: “Scotland, man. They don’t f*** around.”
It seems that more than 8,000 retweeters agree.
She later added: “My mentions are full of hilarious Scottish people and honestly twitter has never been such a f***ing beautiful dream.”
The Lismore, named after a small island in the Inner Hebrides and famed for its whisky collection, is known for its proud connections with the Highlands.
The Partick pub remains a Glasgow institution - so we’re sure more than a few of you will have, ahem, paid tribute at the same urinal before.
