10a Ospreys? 6d Rout?
6d Rake perhaps?
Question Author
Cheers atsgran! OSPREYS for 10a makes 6d RAPE just 13a to get
6d I think it is ripe
6d Chambers Crossword Dictionary offers "ripe" as a synonym for ransack, although I can find no other corroboration. Rape looks a better bet. Like you still waiting for 13a

Is the g definitely correct in 13a)?
13a is STAG a Scottish word
Question Author
Thanks imac! Eventually found a definition in Chambers Scots Dictionary for STAG. Am going to stick to RAPE for 6d as it is as equally correct as RIPE!

Not all the answers to this crossword are Scots words! And anyway, I've now posted the flaming thing!

I am sorry but having jumped in late, I am not sure if Dauv and you agreed that agreeg that the answer to 13 across is STAG. My sources are the Chambers Scottish Dictionary and the On-line Oxford English Dictionary (through my Local Library).
Happy New Year to all. I did not see many questions from Dauv at the end of last year! It must mean that he has joined Lie-in-King as an answerer. Congrats.
