Sky blue's last seen in safe locations (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heavens

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

'safe locations' is the definition.
'heavens' can be an answer for 'locations' (heaven is a kind of location). I am not certain of the 'safe' bit.

'sky blue's last' is the wordplay.
'sky' becomes 'heaven'.
'last' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'blues' is 's'.
'heaven'+'s'='HEAVENS'

'seen in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heavens that I've seen before include "Exclamation of surprise" , "Firmament, celestial sphere" , "Exclamation (Good ____ !)" , "Save hen (anag.)" , "Expression of astonishment" .)
