Person in Anne Hathaway's cottage (4)

I believe the answer is:

scot

'person' is the definition.
The answer is an example.

'in anne hathaway's cottage' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'SCOT' is hidden within 'anne hathaways cottage'.

(Other definitions for scot that I've seen before include "North Briton" , "Northerner; old tax" , "No longer tax" , "Native of Caledonia" , "Eg Aberdonian" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
