A retired Edinburgh woman has spoken of the 'heartbreak' she and her partner feel after grueling six months of flat hunting.
Ruth Towley, 55, Keith, 56, and their 16-year-old cat, Andy, have lived in their flat in the Leith area for 12 years. However their sanctuary is now at risk after they were told, six months ago, that their landlord is selling the property and they will need to move out.
While the couple haven't been served an official eviction notice, Ruth admits there is pressure for them to move as she says architects have visited the flat in preparation for when they leave.
