Desire a wife in Scottish town (6)
I believe the answer is:
wishaw
'scottish town' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'desire a wife' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'desire' could be 'wish' (wish is a kind of desire) and 'wish' is present in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
'wife' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
