Volunteers of a lifesaving Loch Lomond charity have thanked the public for backing plans to relocate their rescue boat to Balloch, with calls now being made on the Scottish Government to support the move.
Loch Lomond Rescue Boat treasurer James Macrae said that tragic incidents on the loch over the past two years led to an increased understanding of how vital it was that the Luss-based vessel could be moved to Balloch.
On July 23 last year, 16-year-old Connor Markward from Glasgow drowned after getting into difficulty in Loch Lomond whilst enjoying the good weather.
