sorry quinie for being so long in coming back but question 1 whiskey nip!! and question 2 is this the one rivers of our capital thanks for any help

[quinie]

Thank you,ronreid. I thought it was just one clue. Back to the drawing board

[TheWinner]

1. Jig ?

[quinie]

1 Scotch Measure?

[Leucocyte]

Here's a thought for number 2. 'Dancing the Tyburn jig' was the feet-twitching of those individuals hanged at Tyburn.
Tyburn is/was a river/brook under/through London.

1. a bit iffy - Irish Jig ? just going off whiskey spelt with an e.

[vakayu]

I agree with quinie Scotch measure is a highland dance.

[losgigs]

Is 1 Strathspey - it's a dance and type of whiskey?

[quinie]

2 The Flowers of Edinburgh

[quinie]

rivers are often flowers in a cryptic quiz

[quinie]

methyl.in the first posting the clue for no2 was Is this the rivers of our capital.The two clues ran into one another-that's why I asked ronreid to explain it.
