Remarkably bare Scottish hillside (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brae

'scottish hillside' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'remarkably bare' is the wordplay.
'remarkably' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'bare' is an anagram of 'BRAE'.

(Other definitions for brae that I've seen before include "Upland area in Scotland" , "Scottish hill slope" , "Steep Scots hillside" , "Bank of Scotland" , "bank on Clydeside" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
