Not from Scotland?

NAE

Think of a Scottish word for "no" that might sound like it’s denying its own origin.

This clue plays on the Scottish word "nae," which means "no." The question mark hints at wordplay—it’s not literally asking about someone’s origin but suggesting "no" as the answer. Since "nae" is distinctively Scottish, the clue cleverly misdirects by implying the opposite of what it seems to ask. The answer is a short, informal way to say "not from Scotland" by using the Scots language itself.
