Crossword Genius

Free, so vacation in province (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nova scotia

'province' is the definition.
(Nova Scotia is an example)

'free so vacation' is the wordplay.
'free' indicates anagramming the letters.
'so'+'vacation'='sovacation'
'sovacation' with letters rearranged gives 'NOVA SCOTIA'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for nova scotia that I've seen before include "Atlantic region" , "Canadian peninsula" , "Canadian province" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
