Scottish town in love with outlaw (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oban

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

'love with outlaw' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'outlaw' becomes 'ban' (banning is a kind of outlawing).
'o'+'ban'='OBAN'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for oban that I've seen before include "Northern port" , "port required" , "small Scottish port" , "Port in western Scotland" , "Argyll seaport" .)
