Question Author
I am most grateful to you, mamyalynne and Lie-in King, for the invaluable help you have patiently offered me. I have certainly learned a lot from it and feel I am better now at this form of puzzle. So much of it, in hindsight, is so straightforward! I am now done except for 25d and this in spite of the scots dictionary. Indulge me, once more, with some kind of hint and take me out of my misery!
