Article on rising enthusiastic Scottish architect (4)
I believe the answer is:
adam
'architect' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'article on rising enthusiastic scottish' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'rising enthusiastic scottish' becomes 'dam' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'dam'='ADAM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for adam that I've seen before include "Robert-, eighteenth century Scots architect" , "Faith, for example" , "first in the race?" , "Biblical first human" , "Early man" .)
