Re: confused
When I first looked at this, I thought it must be a post by Jimi, or Claymore.

Locally it comes out as something like 'roo - ray' There is a syllable at the end of 'roo' that is barely discernable 'roo-i'. And the 'ray' is slightly nasal. You really need to be face to face with a man from Wester Ross to get it right.

It's very gratifying to know that the Gallic fails to differentiate between red, white and king. I knew there was a reason why my ancestors learned English.

Well, isn't that why they introduced Rubha Dubh - three kings in a Tub?

Thanks for this and other suggestions. On a count it seems that something like Roo-Ray is the most popular.
This goes back to a pronunciation dispute from the last time I sailed round it. I have now lost the bet. Hrumph!
