A Caledonian place? (5)
I believe the answer is:
ascot
'place?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'a caledonian' is the wordplay.
'caledonian' becomes 'Scot' (Caledonia was the Latin name for Scotland).
'a'+'scot'='ASCOT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ascot that I've seen before include "Berkshire racecourse - coast (anag)" , "Tie round the neck" , "English horse racing venue on coast" , "Racecourse with royal associations" , "Racecourse, home to the Gold Cup since 1807" .)
