Descendant or heir (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scion

This clue is a double definition.

'descendant' is the first definition.
(I know that scion is a type of descendant)

'heir' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for scion that I've seen before include "Issue" , "Young shoot/twig" , "Branch" , "Young child" , "Younger member of a family" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
