alloa

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

'location' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'some small oatcakes' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ALLOA' can be found hidden inside 'small oatcakes'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for alloa that I've seen before include "Athletic club" , "Town on Firth of Forth" , "A few thousand Scots" , "Town near Stirling" , "possible cup opponent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
