I also would say inLAND if it is being used as an adv., though as an adj., I suppose might stress first syllable. Maybe this is a Southern pronunciation in my case? (And Southern American English can have some similarities to British English.) On the other hand, southerners usually want to stress initial syllables where others wouldn't (umbrella, insurance, etc.). Hmmm.

My husband, who speaks British English, also says inLAND tho. But my dictionary here (not a very good one, admittedly) only has INlend.
