Gets passionate approaching time for Scots celebration (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
burns night
'gets passionate' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'approaching time for scots celebration' is the wordplay.
'approaching' becomes 'nigh' (as in 'the end is nigh').
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'scots celebration' becomes 'burns' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'nigh'+'t'='night'
'night' after 'burns' is 'BURNS NIGHT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for burns night that I've seen before include "tribute to poet" , "January celebration in Scotland" , "winter evening" , "January 25 for Scots" .)
