Scottish Field (April)

[johnT]

Clues annotated with (Sc) will be a Scottish or Scottish dialect word, term or slang. If not annotated (Sc) then it's a normal British/English word or term. I can't guarantee given letters are correct yet as it's difficult, sometimes with obscure spelling variations.

4d. Blind man's bluff (Sc) (4,4) ???????M

8a. Whispered conversation (Sc) (8) C???O?U?

10a. Large farm (Sc) (6) ??C?L?

11a. Tiller (Sc) (8) ?E?M???K  (possibly HELM???K) ?

12a. Teachings (6) ????O?  (possibly WISDOM) ?

 

Many thanks for any help

4 D. My little Scottish dictionary has Belly Blin  (and Jockie Blindie, but that's far too many letters), but that's 5,4.

Thanks all!  Just this one left! Letter count has changed to:

12a. Teachings (6) T?S?O?

Pretty sure of adjoining letters (but I've made that mistake before).

 

Thanks

Toorak, many thanks for help

I've just noticed that 4d answer of BLIN STAM is affecting 10a.

10a answer appeared to be MUCKLE - but this will make 4a BLIM STAM (which I can't find any reference to or parse)

If 4d BLIN STAM is correct, and I think it is - then letter count for 10a will be:

10a. Large farm (Sc) (6) N?C?L?

MUCKLE also seemed good but the word has to begin with N if BLIN STAM is correct.
