Scottish Field

This month are all Scottish words or slang (some are also regional too).
Not easy as I might have a couple of incorrect answers providing incorrect letters.

4d. Rabble (5) ?E?N?
14a. Outset (5) A?H.O
16d. Mongrel dog (6) ?A???N
18d. Scolding (9) F???GY???
21a. What?! (8) C?I?????
22a. Crowded (9) BO?E??I?G
23d. In all directions (5) ??O?S
25d. Excellent (3) G??
29a. Very (4) ????
31a. Small digit (6) ?????? (possibly PINKIE ?)

Any help appreciated

4d Meiny - https://tinyurl.com/49f5zz2s
21a Criminy (?)

31a Crossers needed, but 'Pinkie' looks a good start

25d Gud (?)

I think some of our Scottish members might be needed...

Sorry, just seen my 21a hasn't enough letters.

Lie in King - your idea did lead me to the correct answer CRIVVENS (a Dundee area term of surprise!

[Lie-in King]

Well done, John - I'm annoyed now as I've seen that before & should've managed to dredge it up :-)

22a My Scots dictionary gives "hoatching" for crowded but doesn't fit with your letters.
Cannot find others but will keep looking.

29 Unco?

[Moorea7]

23d? Airts - again does not fit with your letters.

18 Flyteing

16d ?Messan

"Affa" would fit 29, as in, "At een's affa sma" "That one's awfully/very small".

Affa can mean awful or awfully.

Thanks for 'affa', TheCorbyLoon, though I think I've heard 'affy' more. Neither of those are in my Chambers Scots dictionary, but unco/very is.
