Dr Rory, a Scotsman, doctored in old county (4,3,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ross and cromarty

'old county' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dr rory a scotsman doctored' is the wordplay.
'doctored' is an anagram indicator.
'dr'+'rory'+'a'+'scotsman'='drroryascotsman'
'drroryascotsman' anagrammed gives 'ROSS AND CROMARTY'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Another definition for ross and cromarty that I've seen is " Old county".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
