To edges of Ullswater first — this person? (7)
I believe the answer is:
tourist
'person?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'to edges of ullswater first' is the wordplay.
'edges of' suggests removing the centre.
'first' becomes 'ist' (ist resembles 1st).
'ullswater' with its middle taken out is 'ur'.
'to'+'ur'+'ist'='TOURIST'
'this' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tourist that I've seen before include "Sightseeing traveller" , "Tripper, sightseer" , "Sightseeing holidaymaker" , "Traveller for pleasure" , "Someone who travels for pleasure" .)
