How to pronounce scone is another divisive topic in itself.

Does it rhyme with gone or cone?

Linguists at Cambridge University have published a map of the regional variations:

I've always pronounced scone as scone myself but my wife insists on saying scone as scone. Madness.

“Home to Scone” to paraphrase Shakespeare’s Mark Anthony.

I've never in my life heard someone say "Backend" instead of "Autumn"

There's a third common sound where it rhymes with "on": 1. /skɒn/ 2. /skoʊn/ 3. /skɑːn/

But I guess that also depends on how you pronounce gone, as to whether it rhymes with 1 or 3…
