Scandinavian taking a short run round Ulster (6)
I believe the answer is:
danish
'scandinavian' is the definition.
(Danish is an example)
'a short run round ulster' is the wordplay.
'a short run' becomes 'dash' (I've seen this in another clue).
'round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ulster' becomes 'NI' (Northern Ireland).
'dash' placed around 'ni' is 'DANISH'.
'taking' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for danish that I've seen before include "Dash in to the mysterious nationality" , "Pastry, from Copenhagen say" , "Native to Copenhagen" , "Word linking blue and pastry" , "Type of pastry cake" .)
