See excited Scottish girl after greeting from emperor (5,8)
I believe the answer is:
haile selassie
'emperor' is the definition.
(Haile Selassie is an example)
'see excited scottish girl after greeting' is the wordplay.
'excited' is an anagram indicator.
'scottish girl' becomes 'lassie' (I've seen this before).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'greeting' becomes 'hail' (hail is a kind of greeting**).
'see' is an anagram of 'ese'.
'ese'+'lassie'='eselassie'
'eselassie' after 'hail' is 'HAILE SELASSIE'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for haile selassie that I've seen before include "Ethiopian emperor" , "African emperor" , "Emperor of Ethiopia, deposed 1974" , "The Rastafarian Messiah" , "Leader revered in Ethiopia" .)
