A farmer said he had to sell his home and move into a caravan as crippling fuel prices left him fighting to survive. Karl Hughes, a dad of three, sold his home on Tiree in the Inner Hebrides after falling behind on his mortgage.
He delivers livestock around the island but he says diesel costing £2.25 a litre at the island's only garage has led to him and others "really starting to suffer". It's thought the fuel is the most expensive in Scotland, with petrol currently coming in at £2.18 a litre.
Karl, 59, said Scots living in such remote areas were facing a cost of living disaster, with the cost of gas cylinders to heat their homes also soaring, reports the Daily Record. He has now moved into the caravan, which is parked on land where he keeps 20 sheep and a flock of chickens.
