Smithee Posted March 7 3 minutes ago, Morgan said: Yep, Sheens for me too. 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.

Mr Sifter Posted March 7 23 minutes ago, Maroon Sailor said: Bal-green or Ball-green Edinbruh or Edinburruh Best foriegn pronunciation of Edinburgh I’ve ever heard was from Christine Agulera (sp?) during her hosting of the MTV awards in 2003. 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’ ?

bobsharp Posted March 7 1 hour ago, Maple Leaf said: Almost always mispronounced on the TV in North America. Edin-bro or Edin-burg. I just said the word a few times. 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.

superjack Posted March 7 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
