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

'what sporty type in cairngorms' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'if kilt's torn?' is the wordplay.
'torn?' indicates anagramming the letters.
'if'+'kilts'='ifkilts'
'ifkilts' anagrammed gives 'SKI-LIFT'.

'uses' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
