Scottish flower from Aberdeen (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dee

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

'scottish flower' is the definition.
'dee' can be an answer for 'flower' (River Dee). I am unsure of the 'scottish' bit.

'from aberdeen' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'DEE' is hidden in the letters of 'aberdeen'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dee that I've seen before include "John ---, Elizabethan mage" , "Welsh banker?" , "Aberdeen's river" , "Scots river" , "Welsh river" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
