Mispronunciation in Scotland is nothing new, Scottish place names often challenge visitors as our heritage of Gaelic, Norse and Pictish (amid other languages) leads to some unique titles.
However, for uisge beatha (Scottish Gaelic for whisky or “water of life”) it may come as more of a surprise to some how unfamiliar many are with their pronunciations as it is one of Scotland’s biggest exports.

I was given this as a "thank you", never had it before. I'll let you know to-morrow if it lives up to the slogan. 😉

Laphroaig & Blue Planet II
It was great seeing sperm whales, spinner dolphins, lantern fish and a whale shark, while enjoying a dram. It doesn't get any better.
