Afraid not, this wouldn't be anywhere near as comfortable.

There are a few of these dotted around the country, the one I have in mind is in a well known location DCP close to the Capital.

No, and I'm not sure there are such things. Doesn't fit with my DCP clue either. Not on an island.

Itself it was never luxurious. The luxury arose from its purpose.

Is DCP Dunbar Castle Park? Can't find anything that might have to do with luxury except for some loom weights in an archeological dig.

No, but you have one correct word there. Stay cool and you'll find it.

It is. Not overly obscure I thought.
Your go.

Though I can't think why he should take the credit as JHL invented the L, which is very similar, but in the USA..

I did think it was food related but have been struggling to think of food stuffs beginning with "T" ( apart from tablet) and Tunnocks is the family name for those products.

Butter, brandy, beef, beer, rum, raisins, rocket, roquefort ( that well known Scottish Fromage)....
