Article in papers about Holland away from the coast (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inland

'away from the coast' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'article in papers about holland' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'papers' becomes 'ID' (identification papers).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'holland' becomes 'nl'.
'id' going around 'nl' is 'inld'.
'an' placed inside 'inld' is 'INLAND'.

(Other definitions for inland that I've seen before include "from the seaside" , "Such revenue once" , "Away from the sea" , "Remote from the sea" , "Away from 1 across" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
