Place somewhere in Scotland full of clubs, note (8)
I believe the answer is:
allocate
'place' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'somewhere in scotland full of clubs note' is the wordplay.
'somewhere in scotland' becomes 'alloa' (town in Scotland).
'full of' is an insertion indicator.
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation in card games).
'note' becomes 'te' (musical note as in do re mi fa so la ti).
'alloa' going around 'c' is 'alloca'.
'alloca'+'te'='ALLOCATE'
(Other definitions for allocate that I've seen before include "Earmark" , "Distribute (eg, duties)" , "Assign (resources)" , "set aside" , "Assign, distribute" .)
