A Scots son has told of the terrifying moment his dad nearly lost his life in a 'freak wave' before being saved by 'heroic' RNLI volunteers who had to resuscitate him.
Duncan Gordan MacDonald, known as Gordon, lost consciousness after being pulled under by the 'tsunami-like wave' while on a family day out near Campbelltown. The 56-year-old was in paddling-depth water during the trip to Westport Beach with nephew David and his two children Erin and Alistair on August 6 when disaster struck.
Thankfully Campbeltown Coastguard had a visual and was able to direct RNLI volunteers to him. The dad-of-two, who lives in Cumbernauld, was given life-saving CPR before being transported to hospital where started his recovery.
