Authentic-sounding Scottish dance? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reel

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

'authentic-sounding' is the wordplay.
'authentic' becomes 'real' (I've seen this before).
'sounding' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'real' is a homophone of 'REEL'.

(Other definitions for reel that I've seen before include "Highland dance" , "Stagger in Irish dance" , "Something to fish with" , "Cylinder on which something is wound" , "Stagger with rod winder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
