Scotsman, tipsy, riding moon vehicle (10)

I believe the answer is:

highlander

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

'scotsman' is the definition.
(I know that Highlander is a type of scotsman)

'tipsy riding moon vehicle' is the wordplay.
'tipsy' becomes 'high' (I've seen this in another clue).
'riding moon vehicle' becomes 'lander' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'high'+'lander'='HIGHLANDER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for highlander that I've seen before include "Scot, possibly" , "regimental soldier" , "Clansperson" , "man coming from table" , "Flora Macdonald, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
