     Delighted as I am to see proper attention to Scottish
     pronunciation, I should explain that the name of the
     capital city of Scotland is pronounced as if spelled
     'Embra'.  And the title of Prince Philip, consort of HM
     Queen, is naturally heard as 'Chookie Embra'.
 
     Hope this makes things clear!
