Spring beside Scottish lake showing good health (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wellness

'good health' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'spring beside scottish lake' is the wordplay.
'spring' becomes 'well' (both can mean a source of water).
'beside' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'scottish lake' becomes 'ness' (I've seen this in another clue).
'well'+'ness'='WELLNESS'

'showing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for wellness that I've seen before include "Health" , "good condition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
