Learner involved in preserving Scottish game (7)
I believe the answer is:
curling
'scottish game' is the definition.
'curling' can be an answer for 'game' (curling is a kind of game). I am not sure about the 'scottish' bit.
'learner involved in preserving' is the wordplay.
'learner' becomes 'l' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car).
'involved in' is an insertion indicator.
'preserving' becomes 'curing' (curing is a kind of preserving).
'l' going inside 'curing' is 'CURLING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for curling that I've seen before include "Not a straightforward" , "providing treatment for shock?" , "Winter sport where stones are slid towards a target" , "Doing the twist" , "Sport played on ice" .)
