One of the Scots embracing the goddess (6)

I believe the answer is:

athene

(Other definitions for athene that I've seen before include "One inclined towards socialism or communism" , "Minerva was Roman counterpart of this goddess" , "deity" , "Wise woman" , "Pallas -, Gr. goddess" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
