CALL FOR LIFEBOAT

Lamlash inshore lifeboat was alerted by coastguards late on Saturday night when a Campbeltown fishing boat "Bonny Lass" was reported to be drifting towards the rocks at Drummadoon.

The boat had been taking part in the Lamlash Sea Angling Festival and had nine passengers on board as well as the crew.

The lifeboat was taken to Blackwaterfoot and stood by while Campbeltown lifeboat was called.

In the early hours of Sunday the lifeboat got a tow on board "Bonny Lass" and the Lamlash boat was dismissed.
