Description
A farm sign in painted wrought and sheet steel. With the name Harvieston in cut steel letters, the whole surmounted by a repoussé corn sheaf. The iconography suggests that the farm name is being interpreted as 'harvest town' understandable if linguistically unlikely. In the north east of Scotland the word town or toon is still commonly used in its older sense of a farm steading as well as in the modern sense of a conurbation.
