    Even locally you'll find different pronunciations which I guess reflects the fact that people have moved into the area and so there is a lot of cross pollination so to speak.

    In my family we've always pronounced Methven as Mev-en as in heaven; and Muthill as mew-thill.

    It's quite possible that Miffen is a derivation of Mev-en.
