August 27 -heading north to take in loch (5). I have n-n- e but no idea what to do with august 27. Any help appreciated .

Noble? ..august
Is the answer to clue # 27 'ebon'?

Yes, Mattrom, it is.
27, Black book kept by one that's devious (4)
Ebon.

Thanks both

Stuck on last two in:

22d "Figure on a small island drinks whisky" (5)

A?A?T

14a "Pure water" (4)

?E?E I'm assuming it's MERE but just wanted to check

Any help much appreciated

I have "mere", Gooner.
The other one is "await".
"a" in clue, the island is an "ait", with "w" for whisky, as in the NATO alphabet, though it should be spelt "whiskey", by the setter.

Thanks rusty

Glad to help, Gooner!
