One behind Heart of Midlothian? That's too much!(5) S*O**
What do we think?

[fiction-factory]

sloth?

[fiction-factory]

ignore that

[bhg481]

Scott wrote the novels and the "OTT" ending is over-the-top. Don't know about SC

[fiction-factory]

Yes, Scott must be right but i can't see it all either yet

[MargoTester]

Sloth

[MargoTester]

S. Loth (midLOTHian) e

[fiction-factory]

Yes, i could see LOTH but where would the S come from- and sloth isn't defined in the clue, so I withdrew it Margo

[Lie-in King]

Scott - 'sc(ilicet)' (Latin "namely"; that's) + 'OTT'

[MargoTester]

Let's go stand in the corner together FF :-))

[fiction-factory]

Crossed posts- I still cant see it all though

[fiction-factory]

Crossed posts again. I agree with SCOTT as per LiK

[MargoTester]

I'm sadly deficient in Latin I'm afraid.

[highbury57]

Thank you all. I think i am just sadly deficient, never mind the Latin!

[Lie-in King]

I have no Latin knowledge to speak of, just a few terms used in crosswords that have stuck in my head :-)
