"Where Is the Love?" Black Eyed Peas, June 2003.

"Where Is the Del Loves Kelly?" BEAR Scotland, September 2016.

“Del ♥ Kelly” has adorned the rocks beside the A835 leading into the village of Ullapool in the north west Highlands providing an unofficial and heart/rock warming welcome to those driving north since the 70s.

Despite the original artist and love story becoming lost in time and local folklore, the landmark symbol became an iconic part of the Highlands loved by locals and visitors alike yet has been smothered in black hearted paint thanks to a callous BEAR Scotland - a company supposedly responsible for road maintenance in the region (excluding potholes, culverts, verges and road signs and safety) who say they received 'a complaint' from a love hating anonymous member of the public.

Let's tell BEAR Scotland and the minister of transport of Scotland that we want them to reconsider this black symbol of jobsworthyness and show some heart. Or at least Del and Kelly's. 

Give us back back the Highland loving! Del ♥ Kelly (4eva!).

(can also email BEAR@grayling.com and scottish.ministers@gov.scot with the subject line "Del Loves Kelly" to share the love and A835 affection!)
