We get a headpiece that's maybe too small (3)

Ross

wee

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

'small' is the definition.
(Scottish term for small)

'we get a headpiece that's maybe too' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'we' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wee that I've seen before include "Minute" , "Slash" , "Tiny (Scot)" , "It's small in Scotland" , "Small like Willie Winkie" .)
