Liberal Scottish musician provides attraction (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lure

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

'attraction' is the definition.
(I know that lure is a type of attraction)

'liberal scottish musician' is the wordplay.
'liberal' becomes 'l' (abbreviation).
'scottish musician' becomes 'ure' (Midge Ure. I am not sure about the 'scottish' bit.).
'l'+'ure'='LURE'

'provides' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lure that I've seen before include "Tempt with some kind of reward" , "Tempt with bait" , "draw" , "Type of bait" , "Entice, bait" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
