'tayside city' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'dusky fellow scotsman' is the wordplay.
'dusky' becomes 'dun' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'fellow' becomes 'don' (both can mean an academic).
'scotsman' becomes 'ian' (common Scottish name).
'dun'+'don'+'ian'='DUNDONIAN'

'from' is the link.
