One less spoilt in the Hebrides, say (5)
I believe the answer is:
isles
'one less spoilt in the hebrides say' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'one less spoilt in' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'spoilt' is an anagram indicator.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'less' anagrammed gives 'sles'.
'i' inserted into 'sles' is 'ISLES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for isles that I've seen before include "The Hebrides for instance" , "eg Fiji and Tonga" , "British locations, say?" , "eg The Hebrides" , "The road to these is a wellknown Scottish song" .)
