Local quiz - items you might wear

[Tuvok]

Stuck on a few - some of the other answers have been really obsure (not sure if that's the right phrase!)

2. Hesitate on the rock and lift alien (6,6)
3. Note added to nothing (5)
4. Point to imitation (5)

5. Capital of the Highlands, up to a point (9,4)
[well we know that Inverness is the capital, but we're stumped on the rest of this clue]

6. Hint to favourite (6)
[I'm thinking GLOVES - purely because of LOVES - but can't work in the G]

7. You might need these to get at your money (12)

3) glove

Brilliant - apart from the BOAST ABOUT answer - it's not marked as an anagram, so don't think its SABOT - whatever that is!

[Ouzel]

A sabot is a type of wooden clog - footwear

[bibblebub]

about is used in a lot of cryptic clues to indicate an anagram

[Tuvok]

I'm going to use SABOT - I was thinking to literal, and realised it was the "about" bit that turned it into an anagram.

I'd never heard of sabot, tippet and actob, as well as a few others on the quiz.

Once again AB helped.
