I think the last letter of 65A is definitely 'T' as it is also the last letter of:

45D Grower's primary task or intention grasped by child (2,5)

for which I have TO PLANT (PLAN inside TOT)

However, I have scoured various Scots dictionaries and found no reference to DOTTIT!

Thanks Elle. That's a useful resource (duly bookmarked) especially for crosswords by Myops as he tends to use a lot of Scots words.
