Elle, look up leerie in your fine new Chambers,

You mean my fine new Chambers that has 500 words missing, Rusty?
I never did hear anything more about that!
Yes, found it ...leerie is a nickname for lamplighter!

Elle, I actually remember the leeries lighting the old gas lamps!

Unfortunately so do I! Some crackers in this puzzle today!

I have emailed The Herald for the missing clue for 24D. No reply yet.

24d I think they have misprinted it as 23d.

Ah, thanks. I can't see the wood for the trees today!

Stuck on:

23A No Munros are flake-free (8) ??S?A?E?

26A Latitude line (8) ??R?L?E? - Looks as though the first part might be CIRCLE, but I can't find an ending.

21D Apex (4) ???? - Could this be ACME or possibly PEAK. The second and fourth letters are the first letters of 23A & 26A.

Some hints please.

26, think of bars.

OK, got 26A the 'E' was wrong and should have been 'A'.
