Paddle boarder saved after drifting out to sea in the Highlands as hefty rescue mission launched

A paddle boarder has been rescued after drifting out to sea in the Scottish Highlands, sparking an emergency response.

The incident took place around 12.30pm today when coastguard crews were alerted to reports of a missing paddle boarder who had taken to the water from Reiss beach in the town of Wick earlier that morning.

A family member of the missing woman had raised the alarm when they realised their partner had not returned to shore. This prompted Wick RNLI Lifeboat and Wick and Duncansby HM Coastguard to launch a search and rescue operation in a frantic bid to find her.
