Morning all - has anyone else come across a mistake or do I need to brush up on my knowledge of mountains? The answer to 35A (---------- Rebellion, Frank Zappa concert album released in 1981) is Tinseltown, which means that the second word of 27D (--- -----, mountain near Dingwall in the Highlands, one of the Munros) ought to begin with a W, but it can only be Ben Nevis! Aargh! If someone could please confirm that I'm not seeing things, I'd be much obliged. :)

Ben Nevis is nowhere near Dingwall. Try to find out where Ben Wyvis is.
Try Cohen the barbarian
Ben Nevis seems to be a long way from Dingwall but googling shows the mountain to be Ben Wyvis
Question Author
Panic over. Thank you for your assistance, bert_h.
Ben Wyvis

Cheers all. Happy Sunday.
me too can`t find one beginning with a W
berny it's been answered above as Ben Wyvis, you can open the link and see

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wyvis
no error ....it is tinseltown rebellion
the mountain is Ben Wyvis
the barbarian is COHEN and not Conan as most people are assuming
I have arrived at the same conclusion with the same logic. There isn't a Munro with the second five letter word beginning with "W" and the Frank Zappa answer is definitely Tinseltown.
Disregard my earlier answer. Ben Wyvis did not appear on the list of Munros that I first looked at. Sincere apologies.
I don't understand the continued confusion. a Munro is any Scottish mountain over 3000 feet which Ben Wyvis, near Dingwall, is at 3432 feet.
The mountain is Ben Wyvis.
no, but there is mistake....answer to 25 across must be judas maccabaus but there appears to be too many spaces, anyone got any other answer?

JUDAS MACCABAEUS
25a Judas Maccabaeus
you are spelling conan wron it is cohen. hope it helps gl
the answer is Ben Wyvis (although I suspect I far too late with this answer)
You could try Ben Wyvis... Good luck and enjoy your crossword ;-))
