Hi listers, Would SKS be prepared to venture the "correct" pronunciation of "Peterhead". I was chatting to a Scot last week (we both found ourselves watching the sun set over the Gariep Dam's 360 square kilometers of lake) who assured me that the "head" part must be pronounced "heed". He confessed, however, that he hadn't been back to Scotland in some decades. Is he correct? Steve Cape Town

The locals will say "Petaheed" It is often pronounced by some as though the "t" wasn't there.
