I put part (as in not entirely) so I will watch with interest to see who explains
I think Pert(h) is a more likely answer!!
What letters did you have, please?

P?r?
Pert looks good.
Chambers gives Pert as Lively , so...

Scottish city's not entirely Pert(h)



As Perth is a city in Scotland and pert almost means familar (saucy, forward), I'll go with that.
I can't see it being Part as that doesn't abbreviate the name of a city (I assume Partick isn't a city) and doesn't explain the 'familiar'
Remember as a rule definition/answer is at front or back, not in the middle.

Thanks everybody for input I'll stick with pert. All done now . Anybody fancy joining me with a glass of wine or two
apologies, no idea where I got 'lively' from - been up all night on pain killers.

Still think Pert is correct as others have stated.

Chambers gives
ETYMOLOGY: 14c: from French apert open.
for Pert, maybe gets a bit closer
