Dear Wendy, I'm assured by 'locals' that, despite the spelling with two 'l's (which obviously turns up all over the place), the pronunciation is as in 'roguey', i.e. a long close 'o' rather than a short open 'o'. Can't help with your Grahams, I'm afraid --- I'm after Alexander INNES (schoolmaster) and his forbears, but he could have come from elsewhere to fill his post, I suppose.

Hi Folks, If it helps, I am a local and we say "cal-ross-ie". I live about 4 miles to the east of the estate and part of Calrossie Woods which I will drive through in about 30 minutes in a site of Special scientific interest (SSSI) because of the birds and wildlife inhabiting it. Hope this helps, Regards, Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: Sara Thomas <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2001 9:16 AM Subject: [RossGen] Re: Logie=Easter > Dear Wendy, > I'm assured by 'locals' that, despite the spelling with two 'l's > (which obviously turns up all over the place), the pronunciation is as > in 'roguey', i.e. a long close 'o' rather than a short open 'o'.
