British colony at the southern tip of Spain (9)

I believe the answer is:

gibraltar

(Other definitions for gibraltar that I've seen before include "Great rock at south of Spain" , "disputed territory" , "UK territory" , "British-ruled promontory at the southern tip of Spain" , "British overseas territory" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
