Turn the northern mule friend (11 letters). Saner move around truth (10 letters)
Good man hurried to rare mix up (8 letters - this one I can only come up with a place with 9 letters).
Thank you - I feel stupid not getting Dunfermline - "turn" - an anagram - duh! I was thinking "ass" plus N plus "mate or pal.
Back to Stranraer - this has 9 letters and is what I thought. Is there a Stranmur? Good man hurried to rare (rum) mix up?
