Strathaven
While on first glance you may assume that this historic market town in South Lanarkshire is said Strath-hay-ven, it is actually Stray-ven.
Ae
This one is easy. The village with the shortest name in the UK is simply pronounced eh.
Hawick
Hawick is the largest town in the Scottish Borders, and is pronounced Hoy-k—not Hay-wick.
Milngavie
It’s easy to assume this is pronounced Miln-gav-ee, but the East Dunbartonshire town is actually said Mull-guy.
Culross
This is another one that is easy to get tripped up on. Don’t be fooled into thinking that this village in Fife is pronounced Cull-Ross—it’s actually Coo-riss.
