Laird finds Anne in world turmoil (9)
I believe the answer is:
landowner
'laird' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for landowner that I've seen before include "Laird" , "Squire, perhaps" , "man of property" , "One with much property" , "One with title to an area" .)
