Where one might appear at Edinburgh, getting break (8)
I believe the answer is:
infringe
'break' is the definition.
(I know that infringe is a more specific form of the action break)
'where one might appear at edinburgh' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found in the answer.
'at' could be 'in' (synonymous in some cases - eg at school, in school) and 'in' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'getting' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for infringe that I've seen before include "Encroach, impinge" , "Violate" , "Break the rules" , "Contravene" , "Encroach on (a right)" .)
