Design a way to show wind direction in Scotland?

One way to show wind direction in Scotland is through the use of windsocks or wind vanes. Windsocks are conical fabric tubes that align with the direction of the wind, while wind vanes are mounted on a pole and rotate to indicate the direction of the wind. Placing windsocks or wind vanes in prominent locations, such as near coastlines or on hilltops, would allow people to visually observe the wind direction in Scotland. Additionally, incorporating color-coding or labeling on the windsocks or wind vanes could further assist in easy interpretation of the wind direction.
