Where Dot's clan gathered? (8)
I believe the answer is:
scotland
'where' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'dot's clan gathered?' is the wordplay.
'gathered?' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters are gathered into a new order).
'dots'+'clan'='dotsclan'
'dotsclan' is an anagram of 'SCOTLAND'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scotland that I've seen before include "Semi-autonomous region of the UK" , "Dot clans around the country" , "Strange clans dot this country" , "Alban" , "Country of the UK" .)
