Heed bairn in trouble in part of Scotland (9)

I believe the answer is:

hebridean

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

'part of scotland' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adjective which matches the answer.

'heed bairn in trouble' is the wordplay.
'in trouble' indicates an anagram.
'heed'+'bairn'='heedbairn'
'heedbairn' is an anagram of 'HEBRIDEAN'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hebridean that I've seen before include "Scot!" , "Relating to islands off northwest Scotland" , "in Stornoway?" , "on offshore island" , "from Scottish island" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
