Unacceptable here, transporting wives to islands (5,8)
I believe the answer is:
outer hebrides
'unacceptable here transporting wives to islands' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'unacceptable here transporting wives' is the wordplay.
'unacceptable' becomes 'out' (I've seen this before).
'transporting' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'transported' mean this).
'wives' becomes 'brides'.
'here' with letters rearranged gives 'erhe'.
'out'+'erhe'+'brides'='OUTER HEBRIDES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for outer hebrides that I've seen before include "Lewis and Harris location" , "The Western Isles" , "Island group containing Lewis and Harris" , "remote Scottish area" , "Scots isles" .)
