Lawyers next to God, here in Scotland! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barra

'here in scotland' is the definition.
(Barra is a Scottish island)

'lawyers next to god' is the wordplay.
'lawyers' becomes 'bar' (the bar can mean the legal profession).
'next to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'god' becomes 'ra' (Egyptian god).
'bar'+'ra'='BARRA'

(Other definitions for barra that I've seen before include "Hebridean island" , "Outer Hebridean isle" , "Island in Outer Hebrides" , "Scottish island" , "Outer-Hebridean island" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
