Visitors to Scotland must have a terrible time. For starters, there's Edinburgh, which perplexes many (Edin-bruh).

But as for Milngavie, Strathaven, Kirkcudbrught... (Mull-guy, Stray-vun and Kir-coo-bree), not so simple. And that's without even getting a 'ch' in there to mangle.

Still easier than Wales, though. It takes years of practice to get the 'll' sound. Visitors may struggle with Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch.
