Remote, aloof (7)
I believe the answer is:
insular
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'remote' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'aloof' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for insular that I've seen before include "Surrounded by water - narrow - prejudiced" , "Narrow-minded; isolated" , "Narrow-minded like islander?" , "withdrawn" , "Isolated -- urinals (anag)" .)
