Vandals who set a caravan alight in Scotland have left a couple in shock after they awoke to find the mobile home in flames just yards from their bedroom window.
According to the Inverness Courier, Merkinch man William Raylls and his girlfriend were alerted to the blaze around 02:45 GMT, with the police treating the incident as suspicious.
The resident explained how his wheelchair-bound partner and her daughter were left shaken by the event and described how the young family were forced to flee their flat as firefighters brought the blaze under control.
Chief inspector Andrew MacLean explained that inquiries were ongoing and would continue until police work out who set the fire.
He added that there were “various bits of evidence”, but explained that as some of them were scorched by the flames, the investigation could take longer than normal.
The Inverness area is popular among tourists keen to visit Loch Ness – the alleged home of Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster.
