Storyteller from Scottish island returning to centre of Kinross (8)
I believe the answer is:
narrator
'storyteller' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'scottish island returning to centre of kinross' is the wordplay.
'scottish island' becomes 'arran' (island off the coast of Scotland).
'returning' says the letters should be written backwards.
'centre of' indicates the central letters.
The middle letter of 'kinross' is 'r'.
'arran' reversed gives 'narra'.
'narra'+'to'+'r'='NARRATOR'
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for narrator that I've seen before include "He tells the story - arrant or what?" , "The person telling the story" , "Story teller" , "One who tells the tale" , "The one who tells the story" .)
