ANGRY Boris Johnson had to pack up his tent and come home after his Scottish holiday location was leaked, HOAR can reveal.
The PM had taken fiancée Carrie Symonds and new baby Wilfred for a break after a traumatic six months.
It was his first getaway since the start of the coronavirus pandemic which saw him fall seriously ill with Covid-19 shortly before his son’s birth at the end of April.
But the windswept location was leaked when photos of his secluded Highland cottage and tent were published.
Bodyguards said it wasn’t safe for the family to stay on and it is understood they flew home on Thursday after just three days.
A well placed source said: “They had been camping in the garden of the cottage but the security threat was too much.
“The tent could be spotted by a sniper from too far away for them to stay after the location was published.”
Pictures showed a teepee-style bell tent pitched near the holiday cottage and Mr Johnson looking casual in a bobble hat.
The cosy three-bed cottage has a woodburning stove and understated furniture.
The property has wood panelled walls and is adorned with watercolour paintings.
Located on the seashore, The Old School has views towards the islands of Raasay, Rona and Skye and costs £1,600 a week to rent in high season.
Dogs are allowed so Boris, 56, and Carrie, 32, were able to take their two-year-old Jack Russell cross Dilyn with them.
The PM had pledged to tase a “staycation” this year and his break was nothing like as glamorous as other leaders such as Tony Blair have taken.
Mr Johnson had planned to spend a week in the countryside, but locals tipped off paparazzi and pictures appeared that clearly identified where he was.
The risk to the family included fears that they could be mobbed by Scottish nationalists. Members of Boris’s security team were seen taking down the tent and removing other camping equipment.
Scottish tourism bosses admitted this week that English visitors to their countryside had been put off by threats from local separatists.
Last night Downing Street did not comment on the PM’s holiday plans or security threats faced.
