Rainbow Quiz

[Munden]

Two which are driving me nuts:

Role model for the sailor who was off course (9,7)

Salt Herring for the lord Provost (7,10)

Both have something to do with places in UK.Any hints would be most appreciated so I can concentrate on others.

[magistrate1]

Role model for sailor-Hurricane Higgins fits but i dont know if its of any use!

[Magic 1]

I think but not absolutely sure that both answers refer to towns or cities in Scotland

[crofter]

Yes, they are both in Scotland, Magic1

I would be surprised if magistrate1 hasn't solved the second clue!

HINT for the first clue: Take a cryptic view of "sailor who was 'off' COURSE"

[Magic 1]

I liked your comment Crofter in the second sentence. I had not noticed the duplication!
