braes

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

'wild bears as in scotland' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'wild bears' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'bears' with letters rearranged gives 'BRAES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for braes that I've seen before include "Old song 'By yon bonny banks, and by yon bonny . . . . .'" , "Hillsides in Scotland" , "Scottish hillsides, banks" , "Sabre (anag) - Scottish banks" .)
