'Foreign place names in the UK'
« on: January 18, 2009, 16:39:31 PM »
Sannyrut's posting on oddly pronounced place names produced interesting results.

There are a lot of places in the UK which have foreign names.
Here are some I know.

La Mancha in Peebleshire.

Waterloo in Lanarkshire.

Houston in Renfrewshire.

Moscow in Ayrshire.

Egypt in Glasgow.

California in West Lothian.

CBF has not solved the problems of the middle east and things have gone quiet on the forum.

Care to add to the list?
