Not bad! 5/7 !

I liked Eccles' answer for 10 and it almost works - headstone, moonstone, not sure about pea-stone though :D

9 Canals in Scotland.
10 Carpal bones in the wrist (name derivations): scaphoid; capitate; lunate; pisiform.
11 Duetted with Elton John.
12 First names in the Nato alphabet: Charlie; Mike; Oscar; Romeo & Juliet(t); Victor.
13 Approximate values on the pH scale.
14 Appeared in Pizza Hut adverts.
15 Said to have been cursed.
