Where the Scots can provide the Spanish with drink (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elgin

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

'where the scots can' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'the spanish with drink' is the wordplay.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'drink' becomes 'gin' (gin is a kind of drink).
'el'+'gin'='ELGIN'

'provide' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elgin that I've seen before include "collector of anti-quities" , "He removed marble sculptures from the Parthenon" , "Sculpture collector" , "Ingle (anag.)" , "He removed marbles from the Parthenon" .)
