Heavy snow meant it was not possible for Kay Ure to get back to Cape Wrath after a shopping trip to Inverness.
The 54-year-old and her husband John live in the Lighthouse Keeper's cottage at Cape Wrath, on Britain's north western tip, where they run a cafe.
Her trip involved an 11-mile car drive, a boat trip and a bus ride. On her return, the road to the lighthouse was blocked by heavy snow, and Mrs Ure has been stranded 11 miles from home ever since.
She spent Christmas in a friend's caravan in Durness, while her husband had the company of their six dogs, and two walkers who popped into the cafe.
They have spoken on the phone each night and are hoping to be reunited on Monday if the road to the lighthouse is clear.
