City brute I put right (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beirut

'city' is the definition.
(Beirut is an example)

'brute i put right' is the wordplay.
'put right' indicates an anagram.
'brute'+'i'='brutei'
'brutei' is an anagram of 'BEIRUT'.

(Other definitions for beirut that I've seen before include "Middle East capital" , "Lebanese capital" , "Capital of 21 across" , "Capital city of Lebanon" , "Lebanon's capital" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
