Heart of Clement Freud is broken in Scottish town (8)
I believe the answer is:
dumfries
'scottish town' is the definition.
(town in Scotland)
'heart of clement freud is broken' is the wordplay.
'heart of' indicates the central letters.
'broken' is an anagram indicator.
The middle of 'clement' is 'm'.
'm'+'freud'+'is'='mfreudis'
'mfreudis' is an anagram of 'DUMFRIES'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for dumfries that I've seen before include "Scottish town" , "Community" .)
