Traveller to Hebridean islands crossing river (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tourist

'traveller' is the definition.
(tourist is a kind of traveller)

'to hebridean islands crossing river' is the wordplay.
'hebridean islands' becomes 'uist' (I've seen this before).
'crossing' indicates putting letters inside.
'river' becomes 'r'.
'uist' enclosing 'r' is 'urist'.
'to'+'urist'='TOURIST'

(Other definitions for tourist that I've seen before include "Sightseeing holidaymaker" , "someone on holiday" , "Tripper, sightseer" , "Sightseeing traveller" , "Holiday traveller" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
