Like a Scottish shore? (5)
I believe the answer is:
sandy
'scottish shore?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'like a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'like' could be 'y' ('y' can be similar in meaning to 'like') and 'y' is present in the answer.
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sandy that I've seen before include "(Of hair)light yellowish brown" , "Ginger" , "Yellowish-brown; name" , "Hair colour" , "Light yellowish brown" .)
