The Great British Scone Map

I saw this on Mastodon posted by @infobeautiful@vis.social and figured that it was appropriate for this community and absolutely not controversial in any way shape or form.
I wouldn't say it rhymes with gone, but it's very close. For me, "gone" would be /gɒːn/, while "scone" would be /skɒn/. The difference being the length of the vowel.
They’re the same vowel sound in my accent.
