Parent in good health in Scotland (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

motherwell

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scotland' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'parent in good health' is the wordplay.
'parent' becomes 'mother' (type of parent).
'in good health' becomes 'well' (similar in meaning).
'mother'+'well'='MOTHERWELL'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for motherwell that I've seen before include "Home improvement hobby" , "A team of Scots" , "Scottish football team" , "industrial centre of Scotland" , "Scottish town" .)
