Land notedly said to be comparatively rocky? (7)
I believe the answer is:
estonia
'land' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'notedly said to be comparatively rocky?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'to' is within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for estonia that I've seen before include "European republic, became independent again in 1991" , "European country, capital Tallinn" , "Republic in the Baltic region, once part of USSR" , "Nation" , "Baltic republic, capital Tallinn" .)
