Red nails put off Man of Arran perhaps (8)
I believe the answer is:
islander
'man of arran perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'red nails put off' is the wordplay.
'put off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'red'+'nails'='rednails'
'rednails' is an anagram of 'ISLANDER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for islander that I've seen before include "Maybe Corfiot" , "Samoan, maybe" , "Rum person perhaps" , "Inhabitant of a detached area" , "One who lives off the mainland" .)
