Scot managed brae above local river with local man? (10)
I believe the answer is:
aberdonian
'local man?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'scot managed brae above local river' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'scot' could be 'ian' and 'ian' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'brae' is 'aber' which is present in the answer.
'river' could be 'don' (I've seen this before) and 'don' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aberdonian that I've seen before include "of Scottish city" , "person from 20 [GRANITE] city" , "Scottish resident" , "Citizen of Aberdeen" .)
