...nor in Scotland.

It's not Craig's cave is it?

 

[Graigwen]

It's not Craig's cave is it?

No. (Letter count does not fit Craig's Cave).

The capitalization is strange, but you have the right punctuation mark.

Think about what Wednesday after next is. That gives you the ending.

This is a difficult clue because of the obscurity of the site and the bizarre way the name is presented.

The answer is neither translated from Welsh nor in Wales.

Brilliant! Well done. Your go now.

8th May is VE Day.

Sumatt is a poor misspelling of Summat. (Something).

Is a further clue required?
Bear in mind I'm not a cryptic crossworder so the clue may not be set to using the usual rules, but I think it works.
Reply to also bring it back up the list.

No further clue required . . . I think I have it, but will let others have a go first.

Compton Martin Ochre Mine? (haven't a clue about the crptic bit, but it fits 7,6,5,4)

Surely you can get to Compton easily enough... and Mine. I presume the bird in question is a House Martin. I thought it was a pretty good 1st attempt at a cryptic clue.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Yeah, I got the Compton and can now see the mine. I was a bit hung up on birds home being a nest.

Oops. Sorry Maj. I think we jumped the gun there.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Sorry about that Maj...........

 

[andybrooks]

I suppose that Slaughter Rising would fit the letter count, and it has some association with the colour red . . .

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Not slaughter rising and its not linked to the colour red......................
