Pretty sash adapted for dance in Scotland (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strathspey

'dance in scotland' is the definition.
(type of Scottish folk dance)

'pretty sash adapted' is the wordplay.
'adapted' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pretty'+'sash'='prettysash'
'prettysash' anagrammed gives 'STRATHSPEY'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for strathspey that I've seen before include "Scottish valley" , "Scot. country dance" , "Slow Scottish dance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
