Unique warning signs at known island danger spots are in the running for a safety prize.

Quick response (QR) barcodes are printed on the signs and scanning them with a smartphone app shows up first aid and emergency advice.

Phoning the emergency services with the specific registered site identifying number will get help to the location speedily.

People can vote for the Smart signs idea - developed by the Outer Hebrides Community Safety Partnership - at the Scottish Community Safety Network’s “People’s Choice” Award.

The £2000 prize money could pay to install an additional 15 signs.
