Work on Scottish island for a bit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

collop

'bit' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'work on scottish island' is the wordplay.
'work' becomes 'op' (abbreviation for opus).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'scottish island' becomes 'coll' (Isle of Coll).
'op' after 'coll' is 'COLLOP'.

'for a' acts as a link.

(Another definition for collop that I've seen is " Slice of meat".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
