Lorry then diverted in the direction of Scotland? (9)
I believe the answer is:
northerly
'in the direction of scotland?' is the definition.
(Scotland is in the north of the UK)
'lorry then diverted' is the wordplay.
'diverted' is an anagram indicator (each letter get diverted elsewhere).
'lorry'+'then'='lorrythen'
'lorrythen' with letters rearranged gives 'NORTHERLY'.
(Other definitions for northerly that I've seen before include "From cold parts" , "it may be a bitter blow" , "like Newcastle?" , "Wind blowing south" .)
