Woodbourne or Woodburne

[Charl]

I see it written in the official descriptions as Woodburne.
People often write Woodbourne.
Are there any of Scots descent out there who could explain the difference between the two ??

[benwynn]

Ive only ever seen Woodbourne...

[HardCorePawn]

my AIP tells me its Woodbourne... I would suggest the difference is perhaps only in pronunciation... burne would be like 'wood-burn'... whereas bourne is 'wood-born'

[Mattnz]

Hmm I've only ever seen Woodbourne as printed on the AIP...

According to Google, the only place named Woodburne in New Zealand is in the North Island; but plenty of results for Woodbourne in Marlborough.

Too right that is correct spelling - I go to work there every day !!
Despite the spelling as per above we all pronounce it 'burn' not 'born'
I guess this is why so many people mis-spell the word.

'Woody valley' is what it is affectionately known as in the Air Force

Is that a play on Woolly Valley??
