Help with last couple please?

Clues annotated with (Sc) will be a Scottish or Scottish dialect word, term or slang. If not annotated (Sc) then it's a normal British/English word or term. I can't guarantee given letters are correct yet as it's difficult, sometimes with obscure spelling variations.

 

20a. Wear shoes out of shape (Sco) (8) ???U?H?E

Suspected BAUCHLE but doesn't fit - but may be a similar word I haven't found yet.

 

21d. The mountainous district of Scotland (6) ??E?A?

 

 

24d. A name for the nose (Sc) (6) C?L?E?

I thought COUTER but I'm certain of the L being correct. May be CULTER as a variation as I've found a reference to a Culter Plough being associated with the nose of a plough.

 

Thanks

Thanks everyone.

Going with:

20a. SHAUCHLE

21d. HIELAN

24d. CULTER

Nearly suspected compiler's error with 21d due to it having same letter count as 22d, but HIELAN means there's no error.
