A Midlothian mum has been left 'gutted' after passport delays meant her family were forced to go on holiday without her.
Kerry Morton, 41, had been due to head out of Edinburgh to Tenerife on May 2 for a week in the sun with her partner and one-year-old son.
Set to be her little boy's first holiday, and a treat for her birthday, the local mum had ordered passports for herself and her son on March 5.
