This is the terrifying moment panicked tourists filmed themselves driving along a perilous road on the edge of a cliff as waves crashed against the side of their vehicle.
Wendy Farrar, 51, and her 55-year-old husband Stephen visited a little fishing community near Banff in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in October.
After negotiating a steep descent into the fishing port, the two quickly realized that the drive was “not for the faint-hearted.”
As they turned onto the roadway leading to their vacation property, they noticed that the narrow, one-way road was perched on the edge of a cliff with pounding waves below.

Wendy Farrar, 51, and her husband, Stephen, 55, visited a little fishing community near Banff in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in October.
Stephen, a business owner, drives along the ‘small’ road in terrifying film before stating that the crashing waves “splashed the side of the car.”
The trip, however, added to the experience, and Wendy declared the cottage to be the “greatest spot they’d ever stayed.”
Wendy from Ossett, West Yorkshire, stated, “It’s not for the faint of heart.” This is the most terrifying drive we’ve ever taken.
‘It’s a running gag that wherever we stay, there’s either a narrow single-lane road or something peculiar about the drive itself.
“The road down to the fishing harbor was incredibly steep. As you drive around, you pass by a gorgeous tiny harbor, and then we noticed the road we had to take.
“Oh my God, that’s quite a drop,” we thought. It was great. We remarked, ‘This is likely the best place we’ve ever stayed.’
The couple quickly found out that Ainsley Harriott had previously stayed at the cottage while filming a new television program.

The following day, however, they chose to park by the harbor, as Wendy had been compelled to walk behind their vehicle to ensure it didn’t get too close to the edge or incur additional scratches.
Wendy remarked, “My husband was driving, and he said, “I’ll just drive it very gently.” We installed the car’s mirrors just in case.
When we reached the parking park at the end of the road, he added, “I guess if we go out tomorrow, we’ll park at the harbor instead.”
The next day, I stated that I would walk behind the car to determine how near we were to the cliff. It was a close call. The drop was between eight and ten feet.
We travel to Scotland frequently, and something always seems to occur. The previous year, when we travelled to Glencoe, there was a storm.
According to them, the winds were approximately 50 miles per hour and there was really heavy rain. That was eerie.
The couple quickly found out that Ainsley Harriott had previously stayed at the home while filming a new television show.
Wendy adds that the property’s views were “simply breathtaking” and that she and her companion even saw the aurora borealis despite their tense start to the vacation.
We’ve traveled in severe fog in the middle of the night en route to Scotland, but this was by far the most terrifying drive we’ve ever experienced. I believe one or two vehicles have gone off the road in the past.
We did return in the dark a couple of times, but on those occasions we parked near the harbor.
Wendy states that the property’s views were “simply breathtaking” and that she and her partner were even able to glimpse the aurora borealis.
Wendy stated, “I have images taken from within the cottage looking out.” It was breathtakingly beautiful.
This village’s folks were among the kindest people we’ve met.
“We visited at the end of October and have since learned that Ainsley Harriott stayed there for a television program he was filming.”
One day, we were sitting in the living room, which is strange. I told my spouse that I was certain I could hear a truck, and a little later, a truck drove by.
It installed its mirrors and had a passenger staring out the side window. He must do this frequently, but we could not believe it. We pondered, “How in the world did he accomplish that?”
