Historic Queen, one from Scotland with a second name (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anne

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

'historic queen' is the definition.
'anne' can be an answer for 'queen' (Queen Anne, 18th-century queen). I'm not sure about the 'historic' bit.

'one from scotland with a second name' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'an' (an apple is one apple) and 'an' is located in the answer.
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found in the answer.
'name' could be 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms) and 'n' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anne that I've seen before include "Name of queen or princess" , "Green Gables girl" , "- of Green Gables (children's classic)" , "- Frank, World War Two diarist" , "Henry VIII's fourth wife" .)
