Beer Dane brewed in a Scottish city (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aberdeen

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

'beer dane brewed' is the wordplay.
'brewed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'beer'+'dane'='beerdane'
'beerdane' with letters rearranged gives 'ABERDEEN'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for aberdeen that I've seen before include "Scottish North Sea city" , "5,27 [PRIME MINISTER]" , "Scotland's Granite City" , "Grampian city and port" , "Granite City of Scotland" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
