'affray' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'scot's fine line' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'fine' could be 'braw' (synonyms) and 'braw' is found in the answer.
'line' could be 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem) and 'l' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' is the link.
