Uist would sound like Yooist, my grandmother Christine McKiggan came from North Boisdale, South Uist which in Gaelic sounds like Toyshka Oohishcha, this island is in the outer hebrides chain also known as the long islands. Jura in the Inner hebrides sounds like Joora, what names are you researching in the isles?

In Gaelic is the "ch" always "soft" as in church or does it ever sound like "k"?? So many place names seem to have a lot of "ch"es in them.
