Scottish dance or caber toss? (8,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

highland fling

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

'scottish dance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'caber toss?' is the wordplay.
'caber' becomes 'highland' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'toss?' becomes 'fling' (tossing is a kind of flinging).
'highland'+'fling'='HIGHLAND FLING'

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for highland fling that I've seen before include "Scottish dance (involving a caber?)" , "Energetic measure" , "Dance (a Scottish affair?)" , "Traditional Scottish dance" , "Scottish solo dance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
