Water safety demonstration on River Leven teaches lifesaving techniques

A water safety and rescue demonstration took place at the River Leven which trained members of the public on how they can save lives.

The Waterside Responder Scheme was held following a number of tragedies across the area’s waterways.

Twelve-year-old Ava Gray drowned in the River Leven at Balloch in August 2020, while four lives were lost in Loch Lomond last summer.
