Islands off Skye (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

keys

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

'islands' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'off skye' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'skye' is an anagram of 'KEYS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for keys that I've seen before include "Lockers" , "Low islands, sycamore fruits" , "Lock-openers?" , "Lock openers" , "Lower House of the Isle of Man parliament" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
