I'm Scottish. Come from Aberdeen although I live in England now.

Best way I can help folk to pronounce the "ch" is to think how a cat hisses when it's angry.

The sound comes from the back of the throat so try hissing like a cat - making sure, of course, that there's no one else around when you do it or people could be giving you some very strange looks LOL.

Another way is a bit like gargling but without the sound. You gargle at the back of the throat. It's very similar. Takes a bit of practice.

My husband is English but he can pronounce the "ch" quite well now.

Seems to sound a little like saying lockharbour run together!

Many people would pronounce it as Lockaber which is fairly close but once you master the "cat hiss" of the "ch" you're there!

Just watched the DVD which came in our pack. Lochaber is truly stunning.

Are you hoping to one day visit Scotland?
