Cryptic crossword clue from Daily Telegraph puzzle #28,926 (Wednesday 19th December 2018). 25 across.
"Love stay in Scotland - such colour (5)"
The first letter is known to be "O". The third letter is known to be "I". The fifth letter is known to be "E".
We believe the solution is "OLIVE". The clue is of the form "wordplay part, followed by definition part". The definition part is "colour". This suggests that "love" is "O" (resembles the number 0, called "love" in tennis) and that "stay in Scotland" is "live". But we don't understand what Scotland has to do with it. The words "stay" and "live" are near-synonyms of the sort that are frequently used in cryptic crosswords. But the shared meaning doesn't have anything to do with Scotland to my knowledge, and a search of the internet hasn't turned anything up. Why does "stay in Scotland" mean "live"?
Other possible solutions not believed to be correct: "oxide", "opine"
