Love to follow dictator hiding in Scottish island? It's handy! (9)

'it's handy' is the definition.
(very useful tool)

'love to follow dictator hiding in scottish island?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'love' could be 'o' (love means zero in tennis) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'to' is within the answer.
'island?' could be 'i' and 'i' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
