Ross

inn

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

'head here?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'chap from helsinki out of his' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'n' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inn that I've seen before include "watering-hole" , "Jamaica, for one" , "Old hostelry for travellers" , "English country pub" , "Pub providing food and accommodation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
