How do you pronounce Dunfermilne, as in Dunfermilne, Scotland?

LPD lists:
/dVn."f3:m.lIn/ with a possible variant ending in /-l@n/.

No wonder you're having trouble pronouncing the name when you spell it "Dunfermilne". It's Dunfermline!

/dön'f3:mlin/, with the stress on the "ferm" syllable.

Or without strange symbols, done-FIRM-l'n.
