Them yanks/noreasters (the upstairs Americans) would say Edin-burrow I suspect. I would use Edin-BERG What is the proper pronunciation though of "burgh" though?

We can blame the English language itself. It's not like spelling and pronunciation in our language is thoroughly consistent anyway. Very easy to butcher the language and your butchering would be right depending on what region of the US/UK you live in and in some cases, context.
