pict

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'old northerner' is the definition.
'pict' can be an answer for 'northerner' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'old' bit.

'still time' is the wordplay.
'still' becomes 'pic' (short for picture).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'pic'+'t'='PICT'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pict that I've seen before include "Very old person" , "Literary term for painted woman" , "Early Scot" , "Scotsman" , "Ancient north Briton" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
