Continental fellow in Scotland perhaps, carrying twisted fibre (8)
I believe the answer is:
european
'continental' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'fellow in scotland perhaps carrying twisted fibre' is the wordplay.
'fellow in scotland perhaps' becomes 'Euan' (Scottish first name).
'carrying' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'twisted fibre' becomes 'rope'.
'euan' placed around 'rope' is 'EUROPEAN'.
(Other definitions for european that I've seen before include "German, for example" , "EU native" , "Continental inhabitant" , "'Belgian, Spaniard or Greek, say (8)'" , "Pole, perhaps" .)
