Become aware of being away in Scotland, you know (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

awaken

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

'become aware of' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'away in scotland you know' is the wordplay.
'away in scotland you' becomes 'awa' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'know' becomes 'ken' (I've seen this in other clues).
'awa'+'ken'='AWAKEN'

'being' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for awaken that I've seen before include "Come alive" , "Arouse" , "Stir" , "Call forth" , "Rouse from sleep" .)
