Pronounce Haudagin.

[Teabags 2632]

That fucking roundabout thing.

It has its own wikipedia page: Haudagain roundabout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We're arguing at work about the pronunciation.

Is it hA-da-gin.

Or haw-da-gin.

Anyone that says ha-u-da-gin can fuck off.

[ca_gere 2603]

Ha-dou-ken for me

[KarmaTsunami 269]

I always say hA-da-gin. Everyone I know calls it that.

[Captain America 670]

HA DA GIN (GI-nn (not gin))

[Woodsinho 1327]

HAD A GIN ('n' tonic)

[ca_gere 2603]

It's apparently more like "hud-again".

I was told that this was as far as the old tram routes went, and as they would make their way round the roundabout, the call from the conductor/tram operator to the passengers was "Hud again!", as in hang on to the railings, otherwise you'll be knocked off balance.

that sounds horiffically made up, but I'm going to tell everyone I know that it's a fact. I shall then belligerently argue to the point of violence with anyone who contests it.

I'm for Haw-da-gin, but either is acceptable compared to what some of the traffic bulletins pronounce it as on Radio Scotland. They can't cope with it's name at all.

[Guest idol_wild]

Having done some quick etymological searches, it would appear that the word may derive from a Gaelic term:

At Haudagain there was another lock.

This comical name is a good example of the change a

Gaelic name may undergo in passing into English. The

original form had been " Achadh a' Gabhainn," meaning a

place where there was a fold.

Seems more conceivable.

[Oedo 808 151]

On approach to the roundabout I think it's traditional to pronounce it with an f.

[Teabags 2632]

You're all cunts except for Phil and Chris.

[Lemonade 1787]

Haa-di-gin. With emphasis on the Ha and a hard G, like in granite or green.

[The Sloth 17]

Hadagin

its too short. Please lengthen.

[Alan Cynic 223]

Lucky's is (I think) nearest to my late 80s yr-old mum's version...bit I'll check on Sunday.

My gran say haw-Da-Gin. She's in her 80s. Though she's also fae MacDuff.

[framheim 556]

Haw-da-gin

Hud-a-gin is also acceptable.

Ha-da-gin is not.

[Lee Anderson 0]

i'm always in between hud-a-gin and how-da-gin and always conscious of it's pronunciation but never bothered enough to find out for sure. One half torry - one half cowboy, thats me. the wife says had-a-gin (but not in posh aberdeen speak).

[Hog 68]

It's one fucking bad roundabout.

[FOX 178]

Always said "Haa-di-gin" but apparently I've been living a lie or something.

To be honest I don't give a monkeys.
