Pronunciation of Mhairi in Scotland

Usually pronounced Vaarree because the Mh in the Gaelic name, would be pronounced as a V would be in English.

However, the name can be confused with Mari/Mairi/Mairi, which are pronounced Maaree. Some people, even though they spell their name Mhairi (with the h) do still prounounce it Maaree anyway.

So, usually pronounced as Vaaree, but sometimes pronounced as Maaree by some people for ease/preference.
