Golly Returns!
OK not quite kilt related as such but the BBC is showing a murder drama called Shetland in which Scottish actor Alexander 'Sandy' Morton (who played Aloysius 'Golly' Mackenzie in Monarch of the Glen) appears for the first time I have seen him since the series ended. He was frequently kilted in that.
Up Helly A is referred to so hope they will show it.

Golly was my favourite character in Monarch, Trefor. He reminded me of Aeneas MacMaster's older mentor, Ninian Campbell in Neil Munro's New Road.

He is certainly good at deep characters whose emotions take a long time to reach the surface.

He's a good actor but he seems to be a baddy in this new drama, which was quite intriguing.

Pity Douglas Henshall thinks that Lerwick rhymes with Berwick!

Yes, I wondered if that was a local thing.
Anyway they did show Up Helly A and Alexander Morton was not the villain!

In his acting credits list Alexander Morton supposedly played Basil Barrow in a radio play of The Tunes of Glory. I would have loved to have heard that, as Morton has an excellent voice for radio, IMHO

I wonder as I believe even the locals have a range of pronunciation. When I was in the world of work I would phone our branch in Lerwick and they always answered the phone saying 'Lerrick', much the same as 'Berrick'. Who knows, my wife has a Beswick ornament which she calls 'Bezzick' but those antique programmes call it 'Bezz-wick'. Of course there is always the famous BBC announcers who, while they can pronounce the name of the most obscure hamlet in Outer Mongolia correctly will come away with the likes of 'Tanna-dee-chee' for the Dundee football ground Tannadice, or perhaps mentioning that Kirkcaldy Raith Rovers fans will be "dancing in the streets of Raith" or the delights of 'Oh-Bann' and 'Ah-low-ah' for Oban and Alloa. I won't even go into Lock Locky, Lock Oik etc.

I think you're right, Phil, and therefore so is Douglas Henshall. This lady says "Lerruk".
