Hi David

I like the "Tannadichee" reference 8)
Fereneze or Ferneze, a range of hills on the mutual border of Abbey and Neilston parishes, Renfrewshire,
Yes, I've just been told about these hills by a friend, who I was not able to ask last night! I guess then that if the "z" is a 'yogh' it should really be pronounced like Menzies > Mingies, so..."Fereningie" or something similar? Or am I talking complete whotsits??

Hm...don't answer that one..... :?
Best wishes
Lesley
