N00b26, glad that little nudge steered you in the right direction. glad you didn't mind me expanding on the seond part of some unclued entries. I knew you didn't mean 'clue' but I like clarity!

I'm seeing stars at this stage... :D ahem

All but the last unclued in the south west. Checkers dont make sense as the others did. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance

Fair play to Doc - he gets a lot of stick here - I thought this was a very pleasant puzzle - M

Also as one living overlooking the Gare Loch it was thrilling to see our southerly three letter neighbour get a light of it's own!

N00b26, if it's 39 you're stuck on, one of the elements is longer (letter wise) than the other. The latter, very short, crops up in crosswords quite often.

No, I got 39... It's the second word in 13 that i mean. I see the 5 connected with 20 and the rest were clear also. Pretty sure on checkers so I'm wondering about alternative spelling or ??

If your checkers are just two vowels then the answer is in the Chambers Appendix already referenced, though there’s something fundamentally unsatisfying about finishing a puzzle by simply looking up a list and writing in the only entries which fit. Not very intellectually challenging!

Don't have paper version of Chambers.

N00b, the second word in 13 is one of the 5 connected to 20.
