Aye,
No, not quite, Kyle. What I said was that in Badenoch, Strathdearn and Strathnairn. the homelands of the Clanchattan, we pronounce it "khakh-tun" in the 21C. I'm not a Gaelic speaker and Gaelic has long ceased to be the language of the Central Highlands.

In another post to this thread: you are correct, Cluny pronounces it "hatton". I sit on the same Council of the Clanchattan. You may want to make note that The Mackintosh -- and others -- pronounce it "hatton", too All of us seek the easy road when we can.

Did you say that you were in Newtonmore earlier this month?
