Falkirk Herald

Pretty sure I know the answer, but why?

At any rate a dead end, perhaps (9) L?A?T??Y? and I reckon it is leastways, corresponding to "at any rate", but the rest has me.

I did wonder if there was a Least Way that led to a cemetery in Falkirk but couldn't find one. I found a poem called Leastways which talked about a 'dead end' but I think that's just a coincidence

[Duncer]

The road to the cemetery would surely be the Last Way?
