Crossword Genius

Sun follower, shopper on holiday around island (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

montserrat

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

'island' is the definition.
(Montserrat is an example)

'sun follower shopper on holiday' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'sun' could be 'ra' (ancient Egyptian sun god) and 'ra' is located in the answer.
'on' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'around' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for montserrat that I've seen before include "One of the Leeward Is." , "somewhere within WI" , "Country" .)
