in Who Do You Think You Are last week Graham Norton and his mum pronounced it a-HOCKH-ill (ckh as in Scottish Loch)

ah - hogh - ill

the middle syllable is normally soft with the 'gh' a guttaral sound BUT it can also be given a hard 'k' sound tho this is normally an Ulster -Scotism (not wrong - just different)

a haw hill
