Sailor gets light brown pattern from Scotland (6)
I believe the answer is:
tartan
'pattern from scotland' is the definition.
'tartan' can be an answer for 'pattern' (I have seen 'Pattern of clan' mean 'tartan' so perhaps 'pattern' could also mean 'tartan'). I'm unsure of the 'from scotland' bit.
'sailor gets light brown' is the wordplay.
'sailor' becomes 'tar' (slang term for a sailor).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'light brown' becomes 'tan' (tan is a kind of light brown).
'tar'+'tan'='TARTAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tartan that I've seen before include "Distinctive cloth pattern of a Highlands clan" , "Clan fabric" , "Distinctive pattern of a Scottish clan" , "Ship in Mediterranean" , "Symbol of the Scottish clans." .)
