Scottish Field

[johnT]

December issue: All are Scottish words, terms or slang and also could also be regional Scottish terms or variations only used in specific geographical areas. Due to difficulty and often many variations of spelling, some of my adjoining letters might be in error.

 

5d. A noose (5) M????

 

8d. Trouser braces (8) ?A?????S

I have GALLUSES, but that means DABBITYS can't be right as it would leave 8d ending in SS (I initially had DABBITIE which would allow GALLUSES but it didn't seem right).

 

14a. Decree (3) A??

Could it be as simple as ACT ?

 

15a. Sulking (2-1-4) I? A ?U?C

Probably IN A ?U?C

 

16a. Stir or rake up (4) C??R

 

17a. Shelter (3) H??

Maybe something as simple as HUT ?

 

24d. A team to build cornstacks (4) S?T?

 

27d. Storm (4) F??N

 

 

28a. A person (3) E??

 

Thanks again all

scorpiojo - Clue from previous posting.

18a. Small ornaments (8) D??B?T??

I initially thought dabbitys but 8d. Trouser braces being Galluses means 18a must be D??B?T?E.

Dabbitie just doesn't seen right as the clue suggest's a plural, and Galluses would be wrong if Dabbitys was used (the last letter of 18a gives the 7th letter of 8d).

[johnT]

To clarify 15a.

15a. Sulking (2-1-4) I? A ?U?C (maybe IN A ?U?C)

The last letter C comes from 10d.

10d. Pasty-faced (7) FA????E

I have FAUCHIE

If Fauchie is correct then 15a ends in letter C.

 

Thanks for help again

Those are all mentioned in the original question, and unresolved, I think! Sett was suggested earlier for 24 D.

^^ Unfortunately this has not shown "noose"  but if you go to that site, put in English word "noose, there are some suggestions which might help.
