I've been saying the word all night...Glasgow that is....and it's not so much Glaz-go and Glas-go
glass-go is too hissy...
Edinburgh...I pronounce Edin-burru....as in rhyming with thorough

I pronounce it as Glaz-go.
A few names I learned when I was in wales are:
Sillbury - Sill-bree
Avebury- Ave-bree
schedule- shed-jewel
I love my Welshman.

We have some names people don't know the right way to pronounce here too, like Sequim (S-kwim), Seiku (See-que) and Puyallup (Pew-al-up) to name a few.
