Volunteers from Queensferry RNLI were forced to respond to three different incidents including two people struggling in the water on Cramond Island.
The volunteers launched on Saturday, August 13, after UK Coastguard personnel spotted two people in the water at the island whilse they were on a patrol. The individuals managed to make it back to the island where they were rescued, recovered to the lifeboat and taken back to Cramond village.
Just as the RNLI were handing the two over to the Coastguard, the lifeboat was immediately tasked to race to attend to someone struggling in the water at Portobello. Fortunately, as the lifeboat got to Leith, they were given the call that the person had managed to save themselves and the lifeboat was stood down.
