Wallacia, thank you, this looks interesting. I try to complete cryptic crosswords without reverting to anything other than a dictionary and thesaurus but I find I'm getting stuck more often these days - probably because compilers are using more obscure word sources. Cheers, Andy

Jumbuck

old castle = ruins, so most of it means get rid of last letter, leaving you with RUIN
