Ainster (Anstruther) is another strange Fife pronounciation.

Re: Worrying trends in change of Scots place names
Hi All
The local pronounciation of the parish of ENZIEin Banff must cause confusion and I'm surprised that it hasn't been anglicised yet. The continued use of 'Ingie' gives a fascinating link to the Auld Scots tongue in the same way as the surname Menzies (Mingis) employs a now obsolete letter.
