So am I to understand that it is in fact similar to the correct pronunciation of "loch"? And what about Sarah McLaughlin? Is her name pronounced differently because it's McLaughlin instead of MacLaughlin? Sorry if I sound ignorant, but I'm honestly curious, not trying to offend anyone.

    I am not sure about Sarah, but I believe Glenfiddich is pronounced GLEN-LIV-IT.
