Where can I find name of new owners of Kilravock Castle?

[Forfarian]

I've never heard it pronounced like that!

I've never heard it pronounced any other way (except by people who have only ever seen the name in print, but never heard it spoken, and have pronounced it 'kill-RAV-ock')

I see that https://www.kilravock.com/ says "Kilravock Castle (pronounced ‘Kil-rawk’)".

Apparently the local community wanted to purchase the castle but did not have enough time to fund raise.  A Facebook entry suggests it was a private buyer who did not want to be named

I've lived within an hour's drive of Kilravock for over 4 decades.

https://www.kilravock.com/ says "Kilravock Castle (pronounced ‘Kil-rawk’)". Not Kilrawch.

Oh well - I'm used to West coast soft accent. I found the east coast ones rather shrill.

Why are you trying to turn this into a pronounciation thread

I could have asked you the same question

PS contrary to what the Country Life article says, it is not pronounced 'Kilrorke'. It does not have two letters r in it. It is pronounced Kilrawk, rhyming with hawk.

 I pronounce those two the same.      I have spent most of my life in the South East

The North West names are best for  pronunciation tests - and the Welsh ones
