Sailor, visiting part of Scotland with daughter, took a plane? (9)
I believe the answer is:
skyjacked
'took a plane?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a past participle verb which matches the answer.
'sailor visiting part of scotland with daughter' is the wordplay.
'sailor' becomes 'jack' (informal term for a sailor).
'visiting' is an insertion indicator.
'part of scotland' becomes 'skye' (I've seen this before).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'jack' placed inside 'skye' is 'skyjacke'.
'skyjacke'+'d'='SKYJACKED'
