Mark & group,
Perhaps some of our Scottish cousins can correct me
if I'm wrong to generalize, but my husband (an Ayrshire
Scot) says that they pronounce it SINK-ler in Scotland.
Perhaps it's the North American pronunciation (a bit
of French background thrown in?) that has made it
Sin-CLAIR as a common pronunciation on the western
side of the pond. Just my 2 cents/tuppence.
Cheers!
