A drunken 20-year-old reveller was driven more than 100 miles from home when he fell asleep in his Uber following a night out.

Joseph Fergie was woken by his driver at 8.30am - three hours after he got into the car for for a 15-minute journey from the ATIK nightclub in Edinburgh to his home in Leith, Scotland.

The call centre worker got in to his Uber at 5.14am and, after an alcohol-fueled night of partying, fell asleep in the back seat, he told the Daily Record.

He was only woken after the Toyota Prius he was travelling in had driven 112 miles along the A702 to get to Kirkcudbright in Dunfries and Galloway, Scotland.

His Uber account was charged £395.85 for the journey.

Finding himself in an unknown location and surrounded by sheep Mr Fergie thought he had mistakenly been dropped off in Musselburgh - a town in East Lothian on the coast of the Firth of Forth, five miles from Edinburgh's city centre.

It took him another seven hours via several buses and trains to finally arrive back in Edinburgh from Kirkcudbright at around 3.30pm on Saturday - more than 12 hours after he first left the club after it closed that morning

It was only when he posted a call for help on Snapchat that he found out he was actually at the other side of the country.

'I ended up telling all my pals about the situation and they just burst out laughing. They couldn't believe what happened,' he said.

'I’m still trying to piece together what exactly happened last night and I am chatting with Uber to see if they can help in any way,' Mr Fergie added.

'I’ve had never heard of Kirkcudbright before last night and I doubt I’ll be able to ever forget it now.'

An Uber spokeswoman said: 'We are currently looking into this incident.'
