Is standing next to alluring Scottish castle (6)
I believe the answer is:
glamis
'castle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is standing next to alluring scottish' is the wordplay.
'standing' says to take the initial letters.
'next to' says to put letters next to each other.
'alluring' becomes 'glam' (I've seen this before).
'scottish' becomes 's' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
The first letter of 'is' is 'i'.
'i' put after 'glam' is 'glami'.
'glami'+'s'='GLAMIS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for glamis that I've seen before include "Home of Macbeth and the Queen" , "Angus castle, legendary Monster" , "Village in Angus with castle where the Queen's mother grew up" , "Scottish castle, once Macbeth's" .)
