I believe the answer is:

fling

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'highland' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'revel?' is the second definition.
(fling is a kind of revel)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fling that I've seen before include "extramarital affair" , "good time" , "Brief amour; throw" , "knees-up at 8 [HIGHLAND GAMES]" , "quick one?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
