A race at the Highland Games? (5)
I believe the answer is:
scots
This clue might be a double definition.
'a race' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'the highland games?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'at' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scots that I've seen before include "People from north of border" , "Language of Burns" , "eg Glaswegians" , "from Inverness?" , "Natives of Edinburgh" .)
