A little place of woodland in glens of Scotland (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dingle

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

'a little place' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'woodland in glens of scotland' is the wordplay.
'DINGLE' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dingle that I've seen before include "Dell" , "little wooded hollow" , "Small wooded hollow, in Kerry?" , "wood being low" , "West Kerry town" .)
