I reckon it was really Queen Elizabeth I who wrote them -- at all events, thank you.

Markinch (not very good but all I can think of)

Not Markinch. The currency is still current if that helps....

 

[Calthrop]

Getting silly -- Leuchars? Romania's currency unit is the leu; and those Roman / Latin garrison types made much use of chariots -- "chars" for short...

Leicester

Leicester is correct. Lei(lots of leu) with cester- one of many derivatives of castrum used for a Roman garrison or fort. You were so close Calthrop! Edit- apparently Romanian is the closest remaining language to Latin in use today. Multumesc!

Aaaughh ! -- I was going totally by sound, forgetting spelling. Congratulations @DaleCooper -- you have sense, unlike me !

Airdrie

 

[Zamracene749]

Airdrie is correct. I did check the spelling of hairdrier vs hairdryer, it seems both are used interchangeably. Not that I've had any use for one for a lot of years

Back to you..

You should have saved that for when it's your turn to set a clue, it's not the answer this time.
