AyrshireTon Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006  Pronounced "weems" there are three places with this name - near Aberfeldy in Perthshire, in Inverclyde and on the coast of Fife. More than 3 - Fife has "East Wemyss" and "Coaltown of Wemyss".  Wemyss - wims  Bogston - "Duck!" McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.

LargsTON Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Local resident here .... embdy I know pronounces it "weems" Â Some other useless info from another site .. Â Wemyss Pronounced "weems" there are three places with this name - near Aberfeldy in Perthshire, in Inverclyde and on the coast of Fife. The name is derived from the Gaelic "uaimh" meaning "cave" and it has been incorporated into other Scottish placenames such as Pittenweem (also in Fife). Â Correct. Â My missus has lived in the area all her life and it's definitely weems bay. Â Â "CORNBEEF IS A BELLEND" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
