The son of a Cumbernauld man has told of the horrifying moment his dad had to be resuscitated by RNLI volunteers after being pulled under by a 'tsunami-like wave'.
Duncan Gordan MacDonald, known as Gordon, was in shallow waters during a trip to Westport Beach, near Campbelltown, with nephew David and his two children Erin and Alistair on August 6 when he lost consciousness after being pulled under by a freak wave.
Gordon's son, also called David, has hailed the quick actions of Campbeltown Coastguard, who had a visual and was able to direct RNLI volunteers to him, reports the Daily Record.
