sorry to ask this so late at night but it's a last clue.
"Inhabitant of the Hebrides" I thought they were called Hebrideans but not so. With the letters I have the answer could be "isleman" and that would seem to be right. BUT! I cannot find a single reference to them being called isleman. Not one.
Could someone guide me please?

Thank you. That has unlocked my brain! I was obsessed with the Hebrides bit. But, as you say, it could just as easily have been ANY island. I am stupid!
