It sometimes has the same pronunciation in Northumberland too: (Sc.)Loch (lake) = (Nthmb) Lough, pronounced the same. But the pronunciation predates the spelling of course. It gets even more complicated ... 'Featherstoneheugh' is pronounced "Fansha" (the last vowel is actually a schwa for the linguists among you) On the other hand Penshaw is pretty much, though not quite, as it seems: Pensha. As for "Pan Haggerty" ... ;o)
