I believe the answer is:

staffa

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

'where insular scots can move' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'fast at half fare?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'fast' is 'staf' which is within the answer.
'fare?' could be 'a' (A is an example) and 'a' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'f' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
