This guy sounds Sottish but says Loch Morleek! I thought that's how you were supposed to say it? I'd have spelled it MORleech with the same ch sound you get in loch, but it's not a short second syllable as in ick. |

Possibly but it's the first time I've heard it as leek and it sounds a bit daft to me. In Gaelic it's laig, because of the beech, so maybe it's equally wrong however you say it in English? |

I heard it as "leech" in the video. Does it sound wrong to you too? I would pronounce it "lich" but then I am not a gael. |

Just up the road from me is Plaistow, which is always pronounced Plastow
A few years back when they first introduced the recording of a woman's voice on tube trains to tell people what the next station was I heard "The next station is Playstow" and nearly everyone in the carriage said "It's Plastow!"
