Scottish tourists have told of their “relief” after arriving back in the country from fire-ravaged Rhodes.
Wild fires on the Greek island have been burning for a week straight, with multiple hotels and resorts in the area evacuated – leaving thousands of holidaymakers in limbo.
Repatriation flights began to evacuate stranded holidaymakers stuck in on the fire-ravaged island on Monday.
Ailsa Graham said it was a “relief” to get back home early from her honeymoon – after being forced to run from different villages on the island in the search for safety.
She told STV News: “It was very worrying. We were at our hotel and we got a notification to say to evacuate, however, the hotel staff was trying to convince that it was safe. So we just took it upon our self to pack our suitcase and just go for it.
