The Spanish drink in Scottish city (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elgin

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

'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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
