5d Pit?

Hornie (Scots). How about Pct for 5d.

Thanks. Suspected it was Scots word. Need to study Scots dictionary!
What's the concesus on 5d? Set against 8 (for which ans is foes) stone. P?t
Thanks

Hi, Kitties.
5d is "pit " - can mean "set against " and also "a (fruit) stone ".
Hoping this helps!

Thanks Al that was a real struggle.

13d I think the answer is roofer. B-and-B letter is a thank you as is roofer.

Just to muddy the waters ---
5D could be PUT
'stone put' is the Scottish version of 'shot put'.

All in all I think PIT is better even if I don't know the (fruit) stone version; preferring 'pip' myself.
