Scottish refusals

As a detective solving the mystery of the crossword clue ‘Scottish refusals’, I first looked at the common Scottish slang and dialects used in the language. My first instinct suggested thinking about the Scot’s use of “nae” instead of “no” to refuse something. This led me to think that the answer to the crossword clue might have something to do with the word “nae.” Upon further investigation, I found that “naes” is a Scottish variant of “noes,” which is a plural form of “no.” Therefore, “NAES” is the perfect answer to the clue, “Scottish refusals.” This process of thinking and making connections helped me understand the right answer and solve the mystery of the crossword clue.
