Unconventional Scot follows bishop home for a change (8)
I believe the answer is:
bohemian
'unconventional' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'scot follows bishop home for a change' is the wordplay.
'scot' becomes 'ian' (Scottish given name).
'follows' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'for a change' is an anagram indicator.
'home' is an anagram of 'ohem'.
'b'+'ohem'='bohem'
'ian' put after 'bohem' is 'BOHEMIAN'.
(Other definitions for bohemian that I've seen before include "Nonconformist" , "Unconventional artist" , "Socially unconventional" , "of old country" , "Unconventional person" .)
