    I sure hope someone can. David, the resident Scot at Kilt Kamp this year *did* pronounce the 'g', but another member (whose identity I can't now recall) told a tale of a friend from Kingussie who insisted it wasn't to be pronounced. I suspect that it depends on where one is from as in the case of Appalachia which is universally pronounced a-pell-AY-sha unless you are from there in which case it is pronounced a-pell-A-cha, and if you get it wrong they'll throw an apple at ya.
