The Scottish corn is high (6)
I believe the answer is:
hamish
'high' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'the scottish corn is' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'is' is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for hamish that I've seen is " Scottish boy's name".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
