Thanks Lie-in King, That makes wonderful sense BUT now leaves me with a problem!
25across: With sides splitting, seek northern kights in Arbroath (3) now becomes eem
Oh dear! have I made a mistake?

Sorry 'Lights' not Kights!
I'm no typist!
I don't have the paper, but I think 25 A was 'Een' - Scottish word for 'eyes',lights.
6 D. Consigned - it was Con (prisoner)with 'resigned', gave up. You take off the 're', meaning 'on'.
Question Author
Thank you very much.
You're welcome. (I had a slight panic when I saw Lie-In King's answer as I didn't think that's what I had for 6 D!).
