Small fishing boat rescued from rocks in Lochboisdale

A small fishing boat has been rescued after drifting towards rocks at a Western Isles harbour.

The 20ft crab boat had to be towed back to Lochboisdale after suffering suspected engine problems near the harbour itself.

The two man crew was rescued by a fish farm vessel which was in the area and their craft was towed back by a second boat.

The Barra lifeboat was also launched but was not required at the scene.

A ground team from Lochboisdale was also dispatched to assist.
