A woman who set off to her local shops before Christmas to buy a Turkey has finally arrived back home, 30 days after leaving her house. The recent spate of bad weather across the UK hit the Scottish Highlands particularly hard and has only just relented enough to allow Kay Ure to return home.


Kay and her husband, John, who own and run a café at the Lighthouse Keeper’s cottage in Cape Wrath have been separated by the inclement conditions for the entire Christmas period. Mrs Ure started her journey on 23rd December with an 11 mile journey to the couple’s boat and then, after mooring the boat, a bus journey to the shops in Inverness. However, when Mrs. Ure returned, the road was blocked meaning that she could not make the final 11 miles trip home.

The couple spent Christmas apart, Mrs Ure celebrating with friends in a caravan and Mr Ure celebrating with their 6 dogs and 2 walkers who had come to the cafe, but are now planning on having a meal together to make up for missing out on the festivities.
