Confusing smart crony, roads to Scottish area (4,3,8)
I believe the answer is:
ross and cromarty
'scottish area' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'confusing smart crony roads' is the wordplay.
'confusing' indicates an anagram.
'smart'+'crony'+'roads'='smartcronyroads'
'smartcronyroads' is an anagram of 'ROSS AND CROMARTY'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ross and cromarty that I've seen is " Old county".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
