Where, finally, crofter on Skye moved? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orkneys

'moved?' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.

'where finally crofter on skye' is the wordplay.
'where' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'crofter' is 'r'.
'r'+'on'+'skye'='ronskye'
'ronskye' is an anagram of 'ORKNEYS'.

(Other definitions for orkneys that I've seen before include "Northerly UK islands" , "Islands off NE tip of Scottish mainland" , "Western Isles" , "Islands north of Britain" , "Scottish isles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
