Terrified holidaymakers film white-knuckle drive along cliff edge to Scots cottage

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 51-year-old had already navigated a steep descent into the fishing port, but as they turned down the street to their holiday rental they discovered the tight one-track road was on the edge of a cliff with crashing waves at its foot.

In nail-biting footage, business owner Stephen drives along the tiny road - before announcing the crashing waves had "splashed the side of the car" while he attempted to avoid plummeting off the edge. However, the drive only added to the experience, and Wendy says the cottage turned out to be the "best place they'd ever stayed".
