Yonkers moved to a Scottish location (7)

I believe the answer is:

orkneys

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

'to a scottish location' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'yonkers moved' is the wordplay.
'moved' indicates an anagram.
'yonkers' with letters rearranged gives 'ORKNEYS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

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

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
