New apron's about right to be worn in Scotland (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sporran

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

'be worn in scotland' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'new apron's about right' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'aprons' with letters rearranged gives 'sporan'.
'sporan' going around 'r' is 'SPORRAN'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sporran that I've seen before include "Pouch worn in front of a kilt" , "Pouch accompanying kilt" , "Pouch worn in Scottish Highland dress" , "Pouch hanging in front of kilt" , "Part of Scottish outfit" .)
