How would a local pronounce this.
My mum's ancestors are from here.
I've always said "pul ten i town" but i had a Pulteney whisky last night and the guy that gave me it called it "pull tni"

You're welcome. I've spoken to a friend from Thurso and her reply was " "pull tni" - I think."  Cheesy She's still young enough for that silly Thurso/Wick rivalry to be present.  Wink
