Crossword Genius

Lie at anchor in the Hebrides (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ride

'lie at anchor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in the hebrides' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'RIDE' can be found hidden inside 'hebrides'.

(Other definitions for ride that I've seen before include "spin > lift > pedal" , "To control" , "Go by horse" , "Jaunt" , "Travel, by horse say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
