Monster newspaper featured in Scottish water, perhaps? (6)
I believe the answer is:
dragon
'monster' is the definition.
(I know that dragon is a type of mythical creature)
'newspaper featured in scottish water perhaps?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'newspaper' could be 'rag' (informal term for a newspaper) and 'rag' is found in the answer.
'water' could be 'don' (Don is an example) and 'don' is present in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dragon that I've seen before include "Fearsome woman" , "St George slew one" , "Fire-breathing reptile, usually with wings" , "Reptilian monster" , "Mythical fire-breathing animal" .)
