MacDubhsithe
Mac is son of as you will know. Out of interest, a woman isn't MacDubhsithe, but is NicDubhsithe, or daughter of. So it is Mr. MacDubhsithe and Mrs. NicDubhsithe.
The pronunciation on the web site is a native speaker, so he can say it way better than me, he is speaking in real time, so it is hard to follow.
I will break it down as best as I can phonetically.
Mac - is not Mac as in MacDonald, in Gaelic that is MACHK the ch as in loch finishing with a hard K. M-A-CH-K
Dubh as in sgian dubh = DOO
sithe = seeye SEE-YE (Ye like??? Yea maybe?
So, all together it is MACHK-DOO SEE-YE.....
