I believe the answer is:

hendry

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

'a leading scottish potter' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

This is the entire clue.

(Another definition for hendry that I've seen is " Scottish footballer, Colin, b. 1965 - Scottish snooker player, Stephen, b. 1969".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
