I used to go to that pub. Although it’s set in Edinburgh they filmed most of it in Glasgow.

We sometimes team with a consulting firm that does lighting design and some other services, and they do a photo contest every year. This year the theme was "Out of Darkness" and I submitted this picture and was picked as one of the four winners! (and yes, there were more than four entries!) They're mailing me some kind of prize... might be an Italian lamp.
DUNDEE!!!
I can't pronounce 85% of the Scottish distilleries, either. Or does everybody just sound like that after having many wee drams?

Aye, laddie….and Colquhoun is pronounced “ka-HOON”
What drives me crazy is when asphalt is pronounced “ash fault” or toilet is pronounced “ter-let”.

If this is a consolation to anybody (which I doubt), during my last visit to Texas I was asked how I liked taxes (Texas was the true question)

It's funny how pronunciations change by regions. Here we pronounce it "shitter".....
That's funny -- my mother was Welsh, and I was thinking of posting Llanfair P G just to put those Scots in their place.
It's a cool little town on Anglesey -- we've been there. The 86-letter name stretches out over a mile alongside the tracks on the way in.
And no, I don't want to hear any Aussies piping in with their artificially named town with a longer name, created about twenty years ago specifically to claim the Guinness record. Just plain cheap, that was... (but Yay Barty!!!)
And if you want something American that Scots can't pronounce, just use Newark. No matter what they say, you can tell them they're wrong.
If you want some thing only Kansans can pronounce, try Arkansas River. “Ar-Kansas.” Lol

The funny thing is that when I typed "Glooster," I actually heard it in my head as "Gloostuh."

Can we agree that the pronunciation of FUCK is universal though? FUCK always brings us togehter. FUCK transcends generational gaps, cultural chasms, arbitrarily nationalism.
FUCK is the way.
FUCK.
