November issue: All are Scottish words, terms or slang and also could also be regional Scottish terms or variations only used in specific geographical areas. Due to difficulty and often many variations of spelling, some of my adjoining letters might be in error.

 

2d. A mess (9,6) (15) A?N?C?E?? M????N

 

5d. Death throw (3,4,5) T?E ???D ?HR?W

Possibly something like THE DEID THRAW but can't find anything like it.

 

8a. Father (4) ???D

 

17a. Make trim (5) ??CE?

 

19d. Secret (4) ??R?

 

20d. A dodge (4) ??N?

I suspected JOUK but it can't be if the N is correct

 

26a. Rowdy celebration (6) ?????N

I suspect RANDAN (giving the letter N for 20d

 

Many thanks
