Two people have been rescued from their pleasure boat after it ran into rocks on the north-east coast. A coastguard helicopter winched the pair from the rocks after they scrambled to safety and dropped them off in Westhill. A spokesman said: “The lifeboat from Macduff was launched by us as were the coastguard rescue teams from Portsoy and Banff at around 1.20pm today. “We diverted the Bond 1 helicopter from a search and rescue training exercise to the scene. “A local fishing vessel was also on scene.” It is thought that both the passengers of the pleasure boat are not injured.
