Pronunciation question - Bellendaine?
Hi folks!
This is directed mainly to our Borders members, since they're closest (and to other Scots as well):
How is the place name Bellendaine (the old rallying point of Clan Scott, somewhere to the east of Alemoor Loch reservoir) pronounced?
I have heard it variously as: 1) bell-en-DEEN, 2) bell-en-DANE, 3) bell-en-DAWN, and all three of those with the emphasis on the 'bell' instead. Or is it "that wee sma' hill on the left outside o' town"?
John
