Oh shoot...brain fart time again lol Thanks! 

Note for anyone doing this puzzle. The preamble mentions confirming the unclued entries in Brewer's, but I'm sure most solvers would manage, easily, without that!

Question Author

I couldn't find them in there anyway ha 

Fleshpots, I checked - just a little while ago -but I couldn't say if they were all there. My copy isn't the latest edition.

Are there any obscure (to me) Scottish words in this one?

I've searched high and low for 7 ac 'Scottish seagull's gullet'. (3)

It might start with a g?

Not a G, Tilly. I knew it from the Gullet, that is fairly well known.

Maw?

Yes.

PS, sorry for the terseness - I was on the phone. I didn't check for the Scottish aspect, the answer fitted with the Down entry.
