Sgurr wrote:Haven't you descovered the pronunciation feature on the Hills feature (above)? Go to one of the Sgurr's in the Munros section, press the button and you will find a Gaelic speaker doing it. (I asked about Sub 2000s but funds don't run to them since not many of us get around to them, so I shall never know how to pronounce Sgorr an Fharaidh, and if its Sgorr sounds the same as Sgurr.)



here is an avatar for you, you just have to shrink it and remove the butterfly

Yes I have found the pronunciation button and tried your suggestion but was having trouble catching exactly what he was saying :wink:

My two younger spaniels are named after munros. Teallach and Tarsuinn, however both mine were boys...

...Nice ones for a girl would be Mayar, Geala, Seana, or Cona perhaps? :D
