Scottish town broadcasting welcome from Hawaiians (5)

I believe the answer is:

alloa

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

'scottish town' is the definition.
(Alloa is a town in Scotland)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for alloa that I've seen before include "A few thousand Scots" , "possible cup opponent" , "Central Scottish town" , "place in Scotland" , "Town near Stirling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
