Finished this weeks but for 13d and 28A. Not entirely sure I got the reference to Dundee in 15A, although I have a solution. Any suggestions?

I have idle for 26ac as in unoccupied but not sure about it. Could 13dn be apician? just a guess, it doesn't really work though. I don't have the Dundee one, a hint would be good.

13d speci is money. al - a
pound

15a.. s = square. ie - that is. na - not, as spoken in Scotland.

Coulldn't see the wordplay in 2

6ac myself, but either d or s

AJT/TL many thanks - I had come to those solutions by way of eliminations with the d or s for 26A.

re: 26a yes IDLE - {BR (bedroom)}idle
bridle is to check - e.g bridle on a horse
IDLE - empty

Thanks both. I got siena then thought no it has 2 ns sienna but I must have been thinking of the colour. Memories of childhood paintboxes along with rose madder and vermilion.

In Italy it's spelt with l n. Have you been there? The whole town is sienna brown.
