Well in my schooldays in Edinburgh (up to early 50's) it sometimes cropped
up in the town although it was more frequently used by rural residents a
whole six miles or so away. We Edinburghers used 'anywey' more often
although even 'onyhoo' was acceptable.
I don't know what current usage is as I've been in Queensland for 29 years.
