A helicopter was called out by the RNLI to rescue five casualties in a rowing boat after a late-night mayday call.
RNLI Campbeltown's lifeboat, Ernest and Mary Shaw, was launched on Monday July 4 at 12.32am after receiving the highest level of distress call.
The mayday was made by a rowing vessel on the west side of the Kintyre Peninsula, where the sea state was considered to be a "moderate breeze".
