It's sheens, or at least that's what the locals called it when I lived there. 2 minutes ago, Morgan said: Doll Keith or Dall Keith?? Somewhere in between I reckon, Daulkeith. I struggled with Dalrymple as a kid, I knew Dalry but I couldn't work out how to say "mple", I vaguely remember it came out something like Dalry-mimply the first time I tried it out loud. Quote

She got it spot on. I remember her saying that some Scottish roadie has taught her how to say it properly...then she went onto describe herself as ‘a wee midden’ ? Quote

¼½¾ Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 I would say ball green, but it should really be bal green. The bal part coming from the Gaelic for a farm; Balerno being another example. I've never heard anyone call that Ball erno. Quote

I have to admit I sound more Edinbro than my original Edinburru. But I have also noticed I have greatly reduced the pronunciation of R it now being much softer. Quote

superjack Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Living in Lewis, the locals call our capital edinboro, does my nut in. Keep telling them it's edinburrah. As for balgreen, I've always said ball green and I've never heard any other pronunciations, and I spent a lot of time in the area with my mother being from Stevenson drive. Here's 1 ive heard a couple of ways to pronounce, is it Easter road or is it shitehole. Quote

gjcc Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Lochgelly pronounced something like “lowgelly” by the weirdo locals. A work colleague Quote
superjack Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Another 1, towcaster, took me years of using William hills that it was pronounced toaster. Quote
