Terrified holidaymakers filmed themselves on the "scariest drive ever" after discovering the twisting narrow road to their Scottish holiday cottage was on a cliff edge that hangs over the sea.
Wendy Farrar was visiting the small fishing village of Gardenstown, near Banff in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in October with her husband Stephen, 55, when the pair realised the drive was "not for the faint-hearted".

The couple soon settled into their stay at the cottage - even discovering Ainsley Harriott had previously stayed there while filming a TV show. But the next day, they opted to park by the harbour instead, as Wendy had been
