I'm stuck on 3. 5d One licensed to preach but without own charge (7,8) I've got S?I???T MINISTER. 12ac Scottish name for tree pitit (8) I've got ?O?D?A?? and 13ac A steady fall of light rain (5) D?E?P.
Any thoughts, anybody? Cheers, Andy

12ac woodlark?

Thank you sallyw, I can't find a reference to link woodlark with pitit (possibly a typo and should have been pipit).

1st one could be.....stickit minister.

Think it is a typo, that's why I went with tree pipit definitiion.

Thanks to you both, I'm happy with STICKIT and WOODLARK. Any thoughts on the steady fall of light rain? Cheers, Andy

DREEP?

DREEP is Scots word for light rain

Thanks to you all. By the way, I won the Sunday Herald prize crossword last week.

Sorry John but 'dreep' is a word for sliding down the face of a wall until hanging by your fingertips before letting go and dropping to the ground.
Light rain is 'SLEET'.
