inverness

[figheadair]

I know of many placenames in Scotland and Ireland that bear little resemblance phonetically to their original Gaelic. Much of this has to do with phonetic changes since the anglicisation, but faulty transcription is often also at fault.

And then those places that have been completely renamed and now have no resemblance to the original Gaelic: Newtonmore and Dingwall being two obvious examples.
