Security firm pledges to catch out love cheats in Badenoch and Strathspey
An Inverness based security firm is branching out to catch love cheats in the strath and the wider Highlands.
The Castle Group based at Dalcross Industrial Estate is extending its range of services to "expose infidelity".
The security firm is well known for providing mobile patrols, alarm response call-outs, a key-holding service, and employee vetting locally.
But the company is now also establishing itself in "the world of local and international undercover surveillance work".
Managing director Jim Ferguson said they are responding to a rapidly changing society.
He said: "There is growing evidence of an increase in infidelity, we only have to glance at some of our most recent headlines to see the blurring of moral boundaries.
"A few weeks ago a lot of attention was given to a website that advertised discreet extra marital affairs. "Anyone who has been betrayed by a partner will fully understand the destruction and devastation that can result from this.
"The consequences can be life-long, particularly if there are young children involved.
"We have carried out thousands of investigations based on suspicion alone, and I’m sad to say that more than 95% of the time if someone thinks their other half is straying they are usually right; sometimes we have photographic evidence within an hour."
He continued: "The Castle Group is not here to make moral judgements, but we firmly believe that everyone has a right to peace of mind, and to know if their health is being put at risk.
"If a partner is being unfaithful then there are all kinds of sexual health concerns, as well as the emotional impact.
"We take pride in doing our job thoroughly and discreetly, and with our high tech tracking and surveillance equipment we can guarantee results.
"Deciding to hire a private detective to trail your loved one is not a decision to be taken lightly since what we find can be difficult to handle; having a niggling suspicion is not the same as being faced with hard evidence.
"We’ve exposed many people in highly respected professions, and people approaching 80 years old who have been cheating on a partner.
"It seems that there is no set ‘type of person’ who is unfaithful, although some of the reasons cited involve the current economic climate."
