Eccentric blamed for scene of uproar (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bedlam

'scene of uproar' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'eccentric blamed' is the wordplay.
'eccentric' is an anagram indicator.
'blamed' anagrammed gives 'BEDLAM'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for bedlam that I've seen before include "commotion" , "State of extreme confusion and disorder" , "Chaos - former asylum" , "Blamed for confused uproar" , "chaotic state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
