John Swinney, for one (4)

I believe the answer is:

scot

(Other definitions for scot that I've seen before include "---- free: originally free from penalties of taxation" , "Native of Inverness" , "Glaswegian perhaps" , "Stevenson was one" , "UK northerner" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
