A veteran who hoped to set a world record for living on a tiny remote islet off Scotland has been rescued in a 'Mayday' call by the Coastguard after being almost swept away.
Christopher "Cam" Cameron, an army veteran who served with the Gordon Highlanders, spent 32 days on the islet of Rockall, over 200 miles off the west coast of Scotland. He had reached just over half of his 60-day target.
However, he had to abandon his extreme challenge on Wednesday afternoon due to adverse weather overnight that made the isle dangerous.
