Ross

I believe the answer is:

thole

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scots to put up' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'terrible hotel' is the wordplay.
'terrible' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hotel' with letters rearranged gives 'THOLE'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thole that I've seen before include "Pin to hold an oar in place, in hotel?" , "Oar's fulcrum" , "something pivotal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
