3. Wigtown

[quinie]

4 Lochgelly? The tawse (belt) used to be made there.

[quinie]

5 A bit iffy.Tayport? Tay sounds like tae which is Scottish for toe.

[quinie]

Thought no2 might end in ...drum but can't figure out foggy river music. Have to give up now-brain's too tired!

[Flyhalf]

2 Tyndrum (arguments rage over whether to pronounce Tyne Drum or Tin Drum)
5 is indeed Tayport. Tae covers for too, to and toe.
I'll have a think on the others when rested from journey down on a very wet M6.

[quinie]

Hi,BIGJACK,Tyndrum was in my mind but I didn't think of Tyne.Sure you're spot on.Horrible driving in heavy rain.I'm off to bed-busy day tomorrow

4. is definitely LOCHGELLY, infamous for producing the leather "tawses" used for corporal punishment in schools.

1. is probably DULL.

[quinie]

Dull sounds good.I read in the paper that it is going to be twinned with Boring-a place in America!!

[Flyhalf]

Have thunk.
Agree with bert_h on 1 and 4.

[irismay]

Can I just say - you lot are wonderful! I very much doubt if I ever would have got them without you. I have 4 left to do now, but I shall plod on with them for a wee while then I suppose I will have to send out another SOS. Thanks again.

number two is pronounced Tyndrum (tyne drum) and not tin drum. I live in Scotland and that is how it is pronounced.
