A man has been taken to hospital after becoming stranded in the water at a Scots harbour
A HM Coastguard helicopter, RNLI teams and paramedics were scrambled to the incident at Crammond Causeway in Edinburgh at 4.16pm on Friday, August 4 after receiving reports of a person struggling in the water. On arrival, the casualty was found exhausted and clinging onto a concrete pillar which was submerged by the sea.
Dramatic footage from the mission shows him being lifted to safety by RNLI teams before being carried back to the mainland by lifeboat. Kinghorn lifeboat volunteer helm Neil Chalmers said the casualty was "extremely lucky" to have been spotted by a member of the public. "Our crew brought the casualty into the lifeboat and carried out a full assessment as we made our way to Cramond village. The person was extremely lucky, and we assume had been trying to get back from the island on the rising tide.
