'fixing drink in scottish island? good' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'fixing drink in scottish island? good' is the wordplay.
'fixing' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are fixed inside others).
'drink in' becomes 'gin' (gin is an alcoholic drink. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'scottish island?' becomes 'arran' (island off the coast of Scotland).
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'arran'+'g'='arrang'
'gin' placed into 'arrang' is 'ARRANGING'.
