Support sweetheart getting to bank (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brae

'to bank' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'support sweetheart getting' is the wordplay.
'support' becomes 'bra' (a support for the breasts).
'sweetheart' becomes 'e' (the heart/centre of 'sweet').
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'bra'+'e'='BRAE'

(Other definitions for brae that I've seen before include "Bear up on Scottish hillside" , "Slope on hill or in glen" , "Steep bank or hillside" , "Scots bank or hillside" , "bank on Clydeside" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
