Heard description of seat on the edge in remote location? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

isle

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

This could be a double definition.

'heard description' is the first definition.
'isle' can be an answer for 'description' (I have seen 'description of Britain' mean 'isle' so perhaps 'description' could also mean 'isle'). I'm unsure of the 'heard' bit.

'seat on the edge in remote location?' is the second definition.
'isle' can be an answer for 'location?' (I have seen 'Geographic location' mean 'isle' so perhaps 'location' could also mean 'isle'). I'm unsure of the 'seat on the edge in remote' bit.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for isle that I've seen before include "description of Britain" , "Fair one is in shipping bulletin" , "being impossible without water" , "Sea-girt area" , "Land encircled by water" .)
