Line travelled by river (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nile

'river' is the definition.
(I know that Nile is a river)

'line travelled' is the wordplay.
'travelled' is an anagram indicator.
'line' anagrammed gives 'NILE'.

'by' is the link.

(Other definitions for nile that I've seen before include "Take a line to the river" , "Egypt's river" , "Long river" , "Cleopatra's river" , "Line (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
