Personnel with a Scottish island (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

staffa

'scottish island' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'personnel with a' is the wordplay.
'personnel' becomes 'staff' (staff is a kind of personnel).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'staff'+'a'='STAFFA'

(Other definitions for staffa that I've seen before include "Hebridean island: site of Fingal's Cave" , "small uninhabited island" , "Hebridean isle" , "Island west of Mull" , "Inch" .)
