Dreamy, liberal article good for The Scotsman (7)
I believe the answer is:
languid
'dreamy' is the definition.
(I know that dreamy can be written as languid)
'liberal article good for the scotsman' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'liberal' could be 'l' (abbreviation) and 'l' is found in the answer.
'article' could be 'an' (English indefinite article) and 'an' is present in the answer.
'good' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for languid that I've seen before include "Spiritless" , "Feeble; listless" , "Unhurried" , "Idolent, lacking vitality" , "Lauding (anag.)" .)
