Hi rosiland
1ac a 4 letter fish after C for cold
1dn ends with an adjective to do with ears

Hi, Rosalind added to JE thread. Didn't see this.

I've done most of it with a fair amount of confidence. Says she!!
However, it's 30a and 40a that are giving me trouble and I'm pretty sure my down clues are correct. I'm ready for hints please.

30a I wasn't entirely happy with the definition - I associate them more with features of glaciation. Just an anagram, though (with all letters checked).

40a needs silver in twice, once in each direction - one of my favourites.

I too had always thought of the word as a glacial formation; I didn't know it had another meaning.

#30a The word I had pencilled in was correct but I didn't recognise the anagram or definition! Thanks
#40a Another new word for me. Yes, an excellent clue. Thanks.

Thank you chrise and ab. Got well on with NW corner now.

Curiously I had never heard of the kind of music but I got that clue almost first! Very clever

Re 30A - the def is in Chambers (#4), but finding a reference ? Good luck.

Best I could do are these:

"Public! - Sweepclean, the messenger, will be there the day wi' a' his tackle. I ken it frae ane o' his concurrents, as they ca' them, that's warned to meet him - and they'll be about their wark bleyve - whare they clip there needs nae kame - they sheer close eneugh."

I can't decipher enough of that to determine the meaning.

Pg 249 - 2nd def of KAIM (they were rather loose with their spelling back then)
Also, scroll down to pg 250 - 2nd def of kame

Any further ideas?

For the first link, use the Find function of your browser to highlight the term.

Usually, that was Scott's form of "comb".

Years from now, they will laugh at our spelling.
