Point the Persian out, carrying the baskets (8)
I believe the answer is:
panniers
'baskets' is the definition.
(pannier is a kind of basket)
'point the persian out carrying' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'n' (North).
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'carrying' is an insertion indicator.
'persian' is an anagram of 'paniers'.
'n' inserted within 'paniers' is 'PANNIERS'.
'the' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for panniers that I've seen before include "A pair of saddle-bags" , "Bags or baskets hung across beast of burden or bicycle" , "They're hung across a beast of burden or bicycle" .)
