1 My Scottish dictionary has Haud Aff Yersel (with Haud Aff O yerself a variation)

[Neveracrossword]

27 Deep Plate(also in my dictionary)

[JimF]

26d GREETINFACED, if several of the letters are wrong.

[Hazlinny]

6d ? Doon-lookit

[TheWinner]

13d must be the scottish version of neither here nor there

[Hazlinny]

54d. Think it will be een - found it as being an opening in general .. to glen,etc.

[JimF]

I wondered about "een", but I know that only as the word for "eyes".

[Hazlinny]

Yes, Jim a...my een are cross-eened looking for words! I cannot find the website again but it did say een for an opening into a glen, etc.

I wonder if this is the same poster who was looking for SF answers recently and what was the answer to the heidyin one?

[johnT]

Thanks for all your input.
54d. I too thought that EEN was a word for eyes.
26d. JimF...... can't be GREETINFACED as it's too many letters and because of the letters/answers I already have - and more since I posted - it now looks like this....
G?UN?O?R?S.
27d. Neveracrossword.... Can't be DEEP PLATE (although still could start with DEEP. Letter I have now are.........
????/?H?T? - and I have confidence in answers providing those letters.

It's a stinker but I'll keep working on it!

[Hazlinny]

27d ? deep potty

[THECORBYLOON]

JIM, it doesn't help in this case but "een" also means "one" as in, "at een" (that one).

[JimF]

I don't think I've heard that, not that that matters, of course! The word I would use for one would be "yin", as in The Big Yin (Billy Connolly, Glasgow), The Wee Yin (Edinburgh) etc.

[Hazlinny]

13d ?? might help

[johnT]

Sorry Hazlinny
It must be something similar to the term meaning Neither here nor there or Neither hither nor thither......... but it can't be either of those.
Letter count is now:
N???H?? / ?E??I? / N?? / ????E (although last letter could be E or Y depending on how they've spelt SPAEWIFE or SPEYWIFE).
So I suspect it might NEITHER ?E??I? NOR ????E (or Y).

[Hazlinny]

All these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am

Oh, but these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no-one to tell them to, it's true
I was made for you.
