Fright I got in a foreign city (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

turin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'fright i got in' is the wordplay.
'fright' becomes 'turn' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'got in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'turn' placed around 'i' is 'TURIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for turin that I've seen before include "Piedmontese capital" , "Italian city with famous religious Shroud" , "It. city housing shroud" , "I turn to the Italian city" , "City of northwest Italy (with a shroud)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
