Pronunciation[edit]

The last syllable is "tay" - Lun-cur-tay. Trust me, I've lived in the area for 38 years. No one I've ever met says it "tee". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grievous Angel (talk • contribs) 11:59, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I'm from the village & it's Lun-cur-tay. Also, it's the A9 on the western boundary, not A90.

How, in pronunciation, does ty become tay? I'm not doubting you, I just can't hear it in my head. My grandparents were from Perth, and I only heard it pronounced ...tee. - Dudesleeper / Talk 19:23, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree it is "lun-cur-tay" or "luncur-tay" as the first 2 syllables tend to be rushed together with the emphasis on the "tay" 161.12.7.4 (talk) 14:43, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How does Dudesleeper pronounce common words like pretty or dirty - tee or tay? Also, the nearby village of Stanley is pronounced Stan-lay. Point being, spelling shouldn't solely be used to decide pronunciation, just look at the many variable ways that "ough" is pronounced: cough, through, bough, though, etc. Grievous Angel (talk) 16:42, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I don't pronounce them prettay and dirtay, so how does that help us out here? - Dudesleeper / Talk 20:04, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think Grievous means you don't pronounce them as 'pretee' & 'dirtee'. The 'Tay' as we've said it's pronounced is short when it's spoken. Should maybe add a sound clip of a bona fide Luncartonian saying the name ha ha!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevefeelgood (talk • contribs) 15:50, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help correct error[edit]

I'd appreciate help in correcting the error about the reference. As far as I can tell I've done what I should have done. Note it is Bower who is writing , not Boece.Inver471ness (talk) 23:35, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
