The first British martyr from Scotland originally? (5)
I believe the answer is:
alban
'the first british martyr' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'scotland originally?' is the wordplay.
'scotland' becomes 'Alba' (Gaelic name for Scotland).
'originally?' becomes 'n' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'alba'+'n'='ALBAN'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alban that I've seen before include "First British martyr, supposedly born in Verulamium" , "Saint born at Verulamium" , "First Christian martyr in England" , "First English Christian martyr" , "Ancient Scottish kingdom" .)
