Last two.
28a. Shots fail to stop vessels (5-3)
C?o??-?p?. Close-ups, but why?
26d. Feature of Scotland, climbing small hills (4).
???s. Tors?
But fifth letter of 28a is second letter of 26d, so both can't be correct

lose (fail) inside cups (vessels)

Thanks chrisg, so that gives ?e?s for 26d

nebs?

or bens?

Think it is bens. Had thought of that but can now justify it.
Neb is scots for nose (feature), climbing makes it ben + s (small),= hills (bens)
