I caught a bus the other day and as I was sat there I looked around the bus reading the posters. It soon became apparent that almost every poster on board had something to do with locations in Scotland.
When I got off I took a picture (see below) which revealed the theme continued on the outside of the bus.
Tayway 73
I wonder what these buses are doing all the way down in Sheffield? Lost, Stolen or Gifted 
who knows.

The lure of Sheffield is irresistible 
Could well be the case Machel
It's those darn Scots making a takeover bid !!!
We'd be looking for warmer climes surely 
Possibly just a scouting mission though
Was Scotty driving? I've heard her sense of direction is terrible - she was probably headed for Tayport.

Nearly had a hoose in Monifieth. The Secret Garden 
How do you pronounce it Velvet. Is it Mon-thief or Mon-feeth?
I'm assuming it's a silent "i", but could be completely wrong.
EC, it's like here in the Black Country in the West Midlands...
There is a town called Cradley Heath, pronounced by us locals as Crayd-ley Heath but seemingly everyone outside of the area pronounces it Crad-ley Heath 
I shall remember that place and drop it into conversation when my friend from Birmingham returns from New York. He gets about a lot and is bound to know it. I can hear him saying it right now.

I think it's more that one EC but I'm struggling as to how to describe in writing the 'I' part as I don't think it's silent. It's not pronounced like eye. Maybe one of our other Scots FM's might be able to shed some light

That's what I have been hoping for Sprout.

It's an unstressed vowel sound - if that helps.
Mon - as in 'on'
i - as in 'it'
fieth - as in thief
I lived/worked there for a wee while when I was 18 Lovely wee place. No bustling metropolis mind..
I pronounce it Mon-nee-feeth
But I'm English
Mon - as in 'on'
i - as in 'it'
fieth - as in thief
