Scot, carving his ham? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hamish

'scot' is the definition.
(common Scottish name)

'carving his ham?' is the wordplay.
'carving' indicates anagramming the letters.
'his'+'ham'='hisham'
'hisham' with letters rearranged gives 'HAMISH'.

(Another definition for hamish that I've seen is " Scottish boy's name".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
