Chicken cut up with Scottish course (8)
I believe the answer is:
poltroon
'chicken' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'up with scottish course' is the wordplay.
'up with' says the letters should be written backwards (move letters in down clue up).
'scottish' becomes 'lop' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'course' becomes 'Troon' (Royal Troon Golf Club, a golf course).
'lop' reversed gives 'pol'.
'pol'+'troon'='POLTROON'
'cut' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for poltroon that I've seen before include "Abject coward" , "Utter coward" , "one was entirely yellow" , "Traditional chicken" .)
