Mayor taking umbrage, sort to get upset (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

burgomaster

'mayor' is the definition.
(burgomaster is a kind of mayor)

'umbrage sort to get upset' is the wordplay.
'to get upset' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'getting upset' mean this).
'umbrage'+'sort'='umbragesort'
'umbragesort' anagrammed gives 'BURGOMASTER'.

'taking' is the link.

(Other definitions for burgomaster that I've seen before include "Dutch mayor" , "Mayor in Germany, Austria, etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
