A city in Scotland (8)
I believe the answer is:
aberdeen
'a city in scotland' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for aberdeen that I've seen before include "University city in north-east Scotland" , "5,27 [PRIME MINISTER]" , "Scots E. coast city" , "Scottish E. coast city" , "Granite City of Scotland" .)
