Exposed to elements endlessly in Scottish town? (7)
I believe the answer is:
airdrie
'scottish town?' is the definition.
(town in Scotland)
'exposed to elements endlessly' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'elements' could be 'air' (air is a kind of elements) and 'air' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for airdrie that I've seen before include "Burgh E. of Glasgow" , "Scottish town" , "North Lanarkshire town" , "Town to E. of Glasgow" , "community up north" .)
