Forward Hearts found in Scottish city (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

perth

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

'forward hearts' is the wordplay.
'forward' becomes 'pert' (I've seen this before).
'hearts' becomes 'h' (abbreviation used in card games e.g. bridge).
'pert'+'h'='PERTH'

'found in' is the link.

(Other definitions for perth that I've seen before include "Capital of Western Australia" , "Town at the head of the Tay estuary" , "Australian or Scottish city" , "Scottish/Australian city" , "Western Australia's capital" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
