Scottish monster is seen swimming! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nessie

'scottish monster' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'is seen swimming' is the wordplay.
'swimming' indicates anagramming the letters.
'is'+'seen'='isseen'
'isseen' anagrammed gives 'NESSIE'.

(Other definitions for nessie that I've seen before include "Nickname for a Scottish monster" , "Scots loch monster (colloq.)" , "Supposed loch monster" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
