9. Broughton Street
Do not be deceived by its spelling, but Broughton Street and the entire Broughton area should be pronounced "Brotton". Photo: Ian Rutherford
10. Restalrig
Generally speaking, this one doesn't matter THAT much, but if you pronounce Restalrig the way it is spelled then you should know you are in fact wrong. It's "Ressel-rig". Photo: GARETH EASTON
