Group of people in a rustic lane (4)

I believe the answer is:

clan

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

'group of people' is the definition.
'clan' can be an answer for 'group'. I am not certain of the 'of people' bit.

'in a rustic lane' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'CLAN' is hidden in the letters of 'rustic lane'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clan that I've seen before include "Campbells, say?" , "One from Benghazi" , "Macdonald, perhaps" , "Scots family group" , "Large family forming close group, big in Scotland" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
