Umpteen placenames in Fife - such as the notorious 'Kilconqhaur' (pronunced 'Kinnuchar', more or less)' Kirkaldy (Kirkaddy), Burtisland (generally pronunced 'Bruntisland, though that one seems under threat....) Or on the West side of Scotland, Milngavie (pron. 'Milngai')

In surnames, and moving away from Scotland, there's the obvious 'Featherstoneshaugh'/ Fanshawe....
