Letters: Name that place

RE the pronunciation of “Menzies” (Letters, February 28 & March 1, 2 & 4): it's nae wonder the English have difficulty. I met a lady some years ago at a conference doon south who told me proudly she had mastered the pronunciation of her Scottish friend's name: (phonetically) Mingies. Out of curiosity I asked where the friend lived, to be told north of Glasgow, place called Lingie.
