Eagle in the centre of Inverness (4)
I believe the answer is:
erne
'eagle in the centre' is the definition.
'erne' can be an answer for 'eagle' (erne is a kind of eagle). I am unsure of the 'in the centre' bit.
'of inverness' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ERNE' can be found hidden inside 'inverness'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for erne that I've seen before include "Lough of the North" , "Sea bird: lough in Ulster" , "one that catches fish?" , "Flier" , "bird of prey" .)
