Misled about some land (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

isle

'land' is the definition.
(isle is a kind of land)

'misled about some' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word.
'ISLE' is hidden within 'misled about'.

(Other definitions for isle that I've seen before include "like 'Hoy!'" , "Land encircled by water" , "Eg, Iona" , "Rum, for example" , "'This scepter'd - - (Shakespeare)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
