Recommend Scottish barrister (8)
I believe the answer is:
advocate
This clue is a double definition.
'recommend' is the first definition.
(I know that recommend can be written as advocate)
'scottish barrister' is the second definition.
(term for a barrister in Scotland)
(Other definitions for advocate that I've seen before include "Public supporter" , "Caveat, do about lawyer in court" , "Recommend - lawyer" , "Person who pleads on behalf of another, like barrister" , "Publicly recommend" .)
