Shown the way by a good Scottish laddie (6)
I believe the answer is:
guided
'shown' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'way by a good scottish laddie' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'e' (Compass direction - East).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a good scottish' becomes 'guid' (Scottish version of 'good').
'laddie' becomes 'd' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'e' after 'guid' is 'guide'.
'guide'+'d'='GUIDED'
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for guided that I've seen before include "Showed the way, lead" , "Directed as missile might be" , "Directed or steered" , "Showed the way, led" , "Directed the course of, 24 dn say" .)
