The drama began on February 4 when a hotel customer told staff Mrs Fergus had woken her up by banging on her door.
It was then that Mrs Fergus, in her nightgown, had threatened to shoot a member of staff with a firearm.
Mr Fergus then appear naked in hotel’s reception area, brandishing a pair of scissors and shouting abuse at onlookers.
He then used the scissors to cut communication cables before picking up a sign and smashing a window.
Witnesses were so scared they fled to the nearest village, Kinloch Rannoch, more than three kilometres away.
The couple then went on-the-run and were later stopped in a BMW two hours later.
Mr Fergus was found to be drunk at the wheel of the vehicle and has been banned from driving for a year.
