Nice! Suggestions: capitalise Ben Nevis, Loch Ness, Peak District, Loch Lomond; fix Loch Lomond spelling; accept just Lomond, "City the Mersey runs through" is missing an s; Loch Ness clue should be "Which lake is the largest in..." (drop the comma and change is to in); Skye clue should have "its" instead of "it's" and has an extra space before a comma; Scotland should be capitalised in final clue.
