Edinburgh resident (4)
I believe the answer is:
scot
'edinburgh resident' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for scot that I've seen before include "Native of country of the UK" , "Aberdonian possibly" , "Highlander perhaps" , "Northerner; old tax" , "Aberdonian perhaps" .)
