Theologian I see on a Scottish island (6)
I believe the answer is:
mullah
'theologian' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'i see on a scottish island' is the wordplay.
'i see' becomes 'ah' ('ah' can be used to express understanding).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a scottish island' becomes 'mull' (Isle of Mull).
'ah' put after 'mull' is 'MULLAH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mullah that I've seen before include "Head of a mosque" , "preacher" , "One learned in Islamic theology and law" , "Muslim religious leader" , "Islamic scholar" .)
