'islands' is the definition.
(Scottish islands)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for hebrides that I've seen before include "overture" , "Does his breed come from west of Scotland?" , "Debris he found in islands off NW Scotland" , "Shipping Forecast area" , "Strangely, his breed comes from Scottish archipelago" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
