    Excellent - thank you. Do you know of any similar sites that offer pronounciation for Welsh hills?

    No, but Welsh orthography is far simpler than Gaelic, and it is quite easy to pick up the rules and
    work them out for yourself. Wales is the only place where I am confident about place name
    pronouciation.

    Forgive me for being stupid, but how exactly ?

    It's not immediately obvious. There's a button at the top of each hill description page, just
    underneath the name of the hill, labelled Pronunciation.

    Well for Carn Mor Dearg I get the page <http://www.munromagic.com/MountainInfo.cfm?Mountain=9> which
    doesn't seem to have this button ?

    You need a new set of glasses/eyes!

    Right there under Carn Mor Dearg a blue oval with "pronounciation" written on it.

    Hang on! it's flash, so you need the plugin enabled to see it.

    Cancel that opticians apointment.

    OK,that was it - it works for me with Mozilla but not with ie. I guess I never got round to
    installing the IE Flash plugin on this PC.

    Thanks,
