Laird sounds correct - which of your letters is incorrect and what is the clue. Unfortunately I don't have this paper today

Sometimes the word THANE is given?

Hello, I have rePlica going across and nuRses so that
would mean the letters are P???R. for a centre letter I think
is E assuming that 122a Of France - gaelic - or garlic
I have taRraGoN, the tar?a?o? appear to be correct.

Thanking you for your help.

Try 'Gallic' (def not Gaelic!)

JMR27

Sorry for delay . This now means you have the letters
P_L_R and the clue is Scottish landowner? I can't find a word that will fit.
What are the clues that gave you the answers replica and nurses?

poorclare

Question Author

Exact copy - replica. Hospital workers - nurses

JMR27

it looks to me that the setter has made a mistake - I checked through my Scottish dictionary for P_L_R and couldn't find a thing.

Question Author

Thank you JMR27. I also checked my Scottish Dictionary
and Scottish slangs but nothing.

Thanks also to Crofter and johnalex.

clues 116 and 117 have been transcribed. P?L?R is polar (bear)

poorclare

Question Author

Hi ddon thank you for your answer. Can you tell me is
that (polar) another name for a Scottish landowner?

ddon

No. Polar is actually the answer to 116. 117 clue should be Scottish landowner - Laird.

poorclare

Question Author

ah I see were the setter made the mistake and have
now put laird at 117d and 116d polar. I hope they don't
do that again - its confusing. Shall go and post it now,
maybe it will be lucky.

Thank you ddon and everyone who helped.
