Too late for hints ...

Toorak

The OP asked for hints not answers

Neveracrossword

Yes, a pity when that gets overlooked!
PS Sorry you're having such a struggle with this one, Matakari. It wasn't one of Doc's best!

6A An accessible island in the Firth of Clyde, minus a letter ("clouds initially").

6D Plural of a term for a huge lie, minus the first letter. Your "L" is correct- the solution is a term for a dock worker. It's in Chambers.

Boethius

I’m stuck on 1 down CA???H and 16 across ?M??O. Am I on the right lines, please?

Neveracrossword

Boethius, your O at the end of 16 A is wrong, everything else is fine.

PS It's good to give the clues - ABers without a copy can help then.

Toorak

1d looks fine

cashier

You haven't put any clues so it's hard to tell.
