I can't help but see skone. However, my husband insists on being team skon so we both call it a skon, against my best judgement.

I kind of fell into skon that way too but from being out in public. Perhaps it is because we are in scotland but I swear it is 50/50 on how someone chooses to pronounce it!
Brought up in the home counties and it's always been scone (bone) to me.
Related controversy: café, one or two syllables??

When I was in home counties it was "sk-oh-n" but then I lived further north and later Gloucester area where it's been "sk-on". I don't care really so just go with the flow.
Definitely skone. Never heard anyone say skon. But I'm also on the west coast of the US, so that's likely a factor.
EDIT: Just noticed which community I was in. Oops.
