Pronounced "cuKENny" - the "z" is a representation of the medieval letter "yogh" (ȝ) which was used for the "y" sound before the letter "y" was introduced. Yogh was still used in Scotland into the 17th century.

[@DronemanScotland]

That's interesting, thanks for your comment.

Both in use, the old pronunciation is fading now. The harbour sustained damage in 2023-24 with masonry now missing from the west wall.
