Scottish landmark with a bit missing (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lanark

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

'scottish landmark' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'a bit missing' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found within the answer.
'bit' could be 'lark' (I have seen 'bit of fun' mean 'lark' so perhaps 'bit' could also mean 'lark') and 'lark' is found in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lanark that I've seen before include "town in Scotland" , "Scots town" , "Scottish town" .)
