"Where flighty types may go for a walk in SW London? (8)"

Thanks, Rusty - I noticed that not long after I'd solved 3 D -:
Londoner's wife gets suit, going round high-class sale (5, 7).

I have decided just to sigh each time I see any specimens of this type of clue.

...I have just discovered that the first word in 3 D, above, has a Scottish link - it's nice to learn something!

Malone, yes, Chambers suggests a Scottish link.
I never knew that!

Rusty, I feel I can add a 'thank you' to the setter, but I'm not giving up my sigh.

I should think not, Malone!
