Drink with Scotsman over in university grounds (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

campus

'university grounds' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'drink with scotsman over' is the wordplay.
'drink' becomes 'sup' (I've seen this before**).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'scotsman' becomes 'mac'.
'over' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'sup'+'mac'='supmac'
'supmac' back-to-front is 'CAMPUS'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for campus that I've seen before include "University location" , "College estate" , "University premises" , "university territory" , "University buildings and grounds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
