Scots own (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ain

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'scots' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'own' is the second definition.
('ain' can be a synonym of 'own')

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ain that I've seen before include "Own (Scot)" , "The Scot's own" , "26 [ ]" , "Your own in Scottish dialect" , "Glaswegian personal" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
