Johnson loyalist who inspires boozy night in Scotland? (5)
I believe the answer is:
burns
I'm afraid I can't explain this answer.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for burns that I've seen before include "Overcooks" , "Tam o' Shanter poet, d. 1796" , "Scottish lyricist" , "is full of passion" , "Rabbie - - (poet)" .)
