Spaniard lauds an eccentric Scot (10)
I believe the answer is:
andalusian
'spaniard' is the definition.
(Andalusia is a region of Spain)
'lauds an eccentric scot' is the wordplay.
'eccentric' indicates anagramming the letters.
'scot' becomes 'ian' (Scottish given name).
'lauds'+'an'='laudsan'
'laudsan' anagrammed gives 'andalus'.
'andalus'+'ian'='ANDALUSIAN'
(Other definitions for andalusian that I've seen before include "Chicken" , "Spanish" .)
