Good morning,

Holiday home owners called police after discovering 34 men at their remote Airbnb property.

The couple, from Kinlochleven, Lochaber, arrived at the house in Glen Etive to find a sword on a bed and an axe and ten tents in their garden.

Martin and Sheri Murphy were alerted when a resident called to tell them that there were at least ten cars in the driveway on Thursday.

Mrs Murphy had taken an Airbnb booking for seven men for the house, which sleeps eight.
