Be in a car at the Highland games (5)
I believe the answer is:
caber
'at the highland games' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'be in a car' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'be' placed into 'car' is 'CABER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for caber that I've seen before include "Thrown tree trunk" , "Item tossed in Highland sport" , "Pole needed for game up north" , "Scots projectile" , "One taking a toss" .)
