5 Pitcaple? Pict mixed +ap(p)]e
2. Barra Castle (Aberdeen) . . . arab<< +R(ight)
3 Braemar? bare +mar
Hi,johnalex, I thought Barra but thought it was on Isle of Barra!!Should have checked.
4 Very iffy-Balquhain?Bal(e) qu sounds like queue- a line+hain sounds like hen.
Hi quinie - Great answers so far, especially Balquhain, on the same patch as Barra and Pitcaple, which makes it 3-1 to you . . . grrrr !
Question Author
excellent answers quinie and johnalex I have puzzled for weeks thankyou only one to go. thanks again
The clues are a bit weird aren't they? What about Balmoral for no1?
b from lead ballad,al-a man's name and moral for right.
Question Author
was so sure balmoral should be there somewhere you could be right quinie. Got in my head it was ma(r)n something. Thanks again.
COCHRANE ?
Hi,futritcat,like you I was sure it would start with Marn.Right in a cryptic clue is usually r.Looked up right and saw moral so that rang a bell! Still think the clues aren't very good. Have you finished the quiz now?
Hi,Baldric,could you explain how you got Cochrane,please?
I came up with the name from Wikis list of Scottish Castles.
COCH (cock) male bird
R right
ANE not sure yet, but thought it was worth a go.
Question Author
yes quinie only had no 1 left still not certain on it. Baldric thanks for helping out.
Question Author
quinie just noticed I have already in balmoral = long laced boot or cap thought that fitted this clue.
You're right,futritcat. Back to the drawing board for no1
Question Author
think I have been over every castle in scotland never mind N.E think I am on wrong male, could be dad son bro man boy lad or could be animal male.
I'm completely stumped.Don't think it's a very well-known castle.I noticed Barra was given as a castle in Barra though there is one in Aberdeenshire.Off to bed now.Try again tomorrow.
I'm sorry,futritcat,I'm giving up on this one.I'd like to know the answer to this one when you get the results,please.
Question Author
