100-proof Scottish

Oh, and "sgian dubh" is actually pronounced: /skane doov/; in Gaelic, "bh" and "mh" are given the "v" sound.

Sometimes. The bh and mh actual sounds are dependant on their position in the word; for instance, "sibh" is pronounced "shiv" (the plural or formal of "you"), but is also pronounced as stated in the above text in the word "dubh". Basically, it can be either a "v" sound or a "w" sound.

Bryan...wish I remembered more of my gaidhlig-I'd give better examples...

Thanks for the fun read! Very interesting and a good way to get psyched for wearing the kilt on Burn's birthday.
