In Scott's Waverley novels, The ____ follows The Monastery (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abbot

(Other definitions for abbot that I've seen before include "chap who'll be over order?" , "Head of a community of monks" , "Religious man" , "first in order" , "Supervisor of brothers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
