The Spanish drink in Scottish city (5)
I believe the answer is:
elgin
'scottish city' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'the spanish drink' is the wordplay.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'drink' becomes 'gin' (gin is a kind of drink).
'el'+'gin'='ELGIN'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elgin that I've seen before include "He removed marbles from the Parthenon" , "one who removed antiquities" , "Moray town, Earldom" , "The -- Marbles (British Museum)" , "collector of anti-quities" .)
