Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼“Cousin of a firth” must be Scottish. I have stumbled on the Firth of Forth, certainly a name to relish, in a novel, but only had a foggy idea of what it was. Apparently, a firth is an estuary. (The Forth’s firth is a wide one, dotted by several islands with such great names as Eyebroughy and Inchmickery, two words I’d love some hyperbrilliant constructor to get into an American crossword. Forth is the name of the river that feeds that firth, as near as I can tell, and it may also be the name of a municipality of some sort.) In any event, the answer is a word much more familiar to my ears: LOCH, and were you so inclined, I would favor you with my own rendition of “The Bonnie Banks o’ Loch Lomond,” though there are many better ones out there.
