The injuries of a Scottish poet? (5)
I believe the answer is:
burns
I believe this is a double definition.
'the injuries' is the first definition.
(burn is a kind of injury)
'a scottish poet?' is the second definition.
(Robert Burns)
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for burns that I've seen before include "What Tyger does for Blake" , "Is on fire" , "Cremates -- Scottish poet, d.1796" , "is full of passion" , "Scottish lyricist" .)
