I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'remote uk area' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'had stillness and storms' is the wordplay.
'storms' indicates an anagram.
'had'+'stillness'+'and'='hadstillnessand'
'hadstillnessand' with letters rearranged gives 'SHETLAND ISLANDS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shetland islands that I've seen before include "remote part of kingdom" , "up north" , "Remote part of Scotland" , "Scottish location" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
