That man marrying women in Scottish group (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hebrides

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

'scottish group' is the definition.
(Scottish island group)

'that man marrying women' is the wordplay.
'that man' becomes 'he' ('he' refers to a man).
'marrying women' becomes 'brides' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'he'+'brides'='HEBRIDES'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hebrides that I've seen before include "Isles?" , "Shipping Forecast area" , "Island group off NW Scotland" , "Islands off north-west Scotland" , "Debris he found in islands off NW Scotland" .)
