7) I did suggest Stirling on a thread a month or so ago in the hoipe that the letter count was an error but it seems it does have to be 6. I recall there was another one in Scotland which seemed to work but i can't remember what it was now so maybe look at a list of Scottish ones. Someone else sid it could involve a word meaning dog pound

5 Probably also ends in 'worth'(merit) though I can't find one that fits the whole clue.
