Keith Aitkens Prize Crossword

[andrit]

I reckon 16d has to be EAR but 15a is LEATHAN (loch).The E in ear is where the second A in Leathan is. What word for LUG can be A _ R.

[mathsman]

Lug must be ear. There is a Loch Lethen.

[andrit]

Thanks for trying to help but answer is 7 letters anagram of "ane halt"
Also Lethen is near Findhorn where as clue states lochs near Lochgilphead and Portree and Leathan fits exactly. The R in ear is correct coming from FIRM . celtic and Rangers are sometimes called "The Auld __ __ __ __ "
Will go back to banging my head against the wall.!!

[belovedpickles]

i think the anagram must be wrong as loch leathen is nr portree

[andrit]

Google Loch Leathan and it will gve you one in Skye and one on Argyle as per the clue and the anagram.

[Mamyalynne]

The dialect dictionary ives waukin as waking? but maybe depending on your letters placed

[andrit]

29d : AWAKE is correct
