Young woman, our Scot is an American (10)

I believe the answer is:

missourian

'an american' is the definition.
(I know that Missourian is a type of american)

'young woman our scot' is the wordplay.
'young woman' becomes 'miss' (title for a young woman).
'scot' becomes 'ian' (Scottish given name).
'miss'+'our'+'ian'='MISSOURIAN'

'is' is the link.

(Another definition for missourian that I've seen is " American".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
