Understanding Today's Crossword Puzzle

In today's crossword puzzle, the clue is "A carriage heading for Scottish cathedral city" and the answer is "AMIENS". Let's break down the clue to understand why this answer fits.

1. The clue starts with "A carriage heading for..." This indicates that we are looking for a word that represents a carriage heading towards something.
2. The next part of the clue is "Scottish cathedral city." This provides additional information about the location we are considering.

Now, let's see how the answer "AMIENS" fits:

1. AMIENS is a city located in France, not Scotland. However, crossword clues often use misdirection by providing a seemingly unrelated hint to lead solvers astray.
2. The word "carriage" can refer to a mode of transportation, and in this case, we can interpret it as a train. AMIENS has a train station, making it a reasonable fit.
3. The phrase "heading for" suggests that we are heading towards AMIENS from some other location or direction, which aligns with the idea of a carriage or train journey.
4. Although AMIENS is not a Scottish cathedral city, it does have a famous cathedral called Notre-Dame d'Amiens, known for its Gothic architecture and status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Considering all these factors, despite the misdirection of the clue, the answer "AMIENS" fits perfectly given its relevance to carriages (trains) and its association with a significant cathedral.
