Settle around Skye? Here's another Scots location (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paisley

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

'another scots location' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'settle around skye?' is the wordplay.
'settle' becomes 'pay' (paying is a kind of settling).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'skye?' becomes 'isle' (Isle of Sky).
'pay' going around 'isle' is 'PAISLEY'.

'here's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paisley that I've seen before include "Ian, politician or kind of pattern" , "Scottish fabric pattern" , "Colourful pattern of the northern politician" , "Patterned textile originating in a Scottish town" , "Patterned fabric" .)
