ive got a few scottish dictionaries and could maybe help

[chelle017]

hi yes could do with some help. Have tried all online dictionaries I could find and still no luck.

[wideboy]

This one gives 11 as KLIPPERT.

For 1) it gives BALLY then mentions COG hence BALLYCOG?

It also gets SHABLE for 3)

Want to try the others?

[wideboy]

For crooked (6) - take your pick:-

Hence ppl.adj. neu(c)ket, neukit, nuikit, nookit, -ed, nucket, having corners or angles, crooked , angular, sharp: fig. sharptempered, cantankerous (Bnff. 1964); nuikey, having corners (Sc. 1825 Jam.).
