Jeffrey Shaw Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 It's pronounced ' Scoon' to rhyme with moon. Not far from Perth. Is it where the Stone of Scone http://www.bing.com/search?q=Stone%20of%20Scone&pc=cosp&ptag=C1A005A2B4283&form=CONBDF&conlogo=CT3210127 originates? [Who'd want a stone of scones, though?] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpetre Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) Now I think scon is more Hyacinth Bucket! I've always thought that was posh. I say scone (and you can make that sound very common indeed ) I suppose the definitive answer would be - how does the Queen pronounce it! HM would probably say 'Scone', for as long as she has been on the 'Thronn'. Edited August 10, 2017 by stpetre add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
