The "Long Island” of Scotland (5,8)

I believe the answer is:

outer hebrides

(Other definitions for outer hebrides that I've seen before include "The Western Isles" , "remote Scottish area" , "Lewis and Harris location" , "Island group containing Lewis and Harris" , "Scots isles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
