Gourami67, 'offered' you £10? I thought the John Lewis vouchers (useless in much of Scotland) were one of £30 and two of £20? I wish the prize of a Chambers dictionary had been re-instated, mine's looking distinctly tatty.

I did finally receive my £30 prize for 2743 and was credited in the Easter magazine but it took a great deal of chasing. I used it (indirectly) to buy a Brewers which I rather like.

I have Katrine for 24d....a loch that supplies most of Glasgow's water.

Katrine is in Chambers but without the Glasgow association. I think I still prefer kirky@9’s suggestion.

Fred108, I too almost put that in - but I realised all the other entries, the other names, mentioned the relevant place involved. My entry then became the S one, mentioned earlier.

I have a different name, still female, involving strong winds. Stumped if there’s any other connection. 8dn gives me the same thought ..

Unfortunately the only link I can come up with is a natural phenomenon rather than specific place names.

I think the correct answer to 8d. ends in D. It's not something I would have considered without seeing it in Chambers. This would make it difficult for those without access to the reference.

In case anyone hasn't seen it, there's note attached to 2766, saying: "Doc apologises to Fieldfare and solvers alike for his error in rerunning a crossword from a previous issue last week. The preamble should have read ‘Nine unclued lights form three triplets, each related in a different way to the tenth.’ There will not be any prizes for solving Crossword 2765."

And I apologise for posting thiat on the 2764 thread. It should have been on 2765,

I think this is an unfair puzzle. I don't actually have a Chambers, any edition or app, but regularly solve the Speccie. I realised rapidly that the unclueds were (presumably) firstnames that are also places, but even knowing that and having an otherwise complete grid, it's impossible to solve.
