Having problems with top left corner. Will start with 3, but may be back.
Scottish words are always difficult for me.

1 Short time in Scotland, boon when taking in loch (5)

Could it be Glift (L in GIFT)?

15 Stick around thorny plant (8)
W????BI?

2 Feel bad about exercise sequence? Given up tobacco (7)

Thanks.

15 Wait-a-bit

[Mamyalynne]

Yes

1 Glift - a moment

[hankir]

Thanks mamyalynne.
I thought of wait-a-bit but rejected it because I could not figure out how the
thorny plant applied.

[Mamyalynne]

It is a thorny plant

[hankir]

Thanks, mamyalynne.
Should have looked up wait-a-bit.
need one more..

Clan chiefs having decisive clout among Masai? Wrong (7)
AM???SI

'Wild' guess for 2: Patched

Ached = feel bad and PT = exercise

[kayakamina]

Amakosi

[kayakamina]

2 Latakia

[hankir]

Thank you kayakamina.
Did get latakia and finally figured out that Amakosi is plural of inkosi.

Had to find a synonym for matey and I now have it also.
This puzzle is completed.
Was tough but liked it.

Glad I could help hankir.
