Scottish island to the west with rocky hill — one offers an account (8)
I believe the answer is:
narrator
'one offers an account' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'scottish island to the west with rocky hill' is the wordplay.
'scottish island' becomes 'arran' (island off the coast of Scotland).
'to the west' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (letters written right to left or 'east to west').
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'rocky hill' becomes 'tor' (I've seen this before).
'arran' written backwards gives 'narra'.
'narra'+'tor'='NARRATOR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for narrator that I've seen before include "The person telling the story" , "Story teller" , "reporter" , "Anecdotist" , "Teller - or rat ran (anag)" .)
