Presumptuous hotel somewhere in Scotland (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

perth

'somewhere in scotland' is the definition.
(Scottish city)

'presumptuous hotel' is the wordplay.
'presumptuous' becomes 'pert' (I've seen this in another clue).
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'pert'+'h'='PERTH'

(Other definitions for perth that I've seen before include "Town at the head of the Tay estuary" , "Period (of effort)" , "Western Australia's capital" , "Capital of Western Australia" , "Australian state capital" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
