A teenager, his father and their dog have been rescued after they came into bother off Ardnamurchan.
The older man was in a vessel that run aground and the teenager and dog were in a small dingy which ran out of fuel.
Coastguard teams have successfully taken the boy and dog back to shore and left the older man in the smaller vessel waiting for the tide to come back in and dislodge the boat.
A spokesman from the coastguard confirmed all were safe and well after the incident off the west coast.
Reports of the incident came in just before 4pm and Stornoway coastguard coordinated the rescue mission.
The lifeboat from Mallaig and coastguard teams from Salen worked for around an hour and a half on Wednesday afternoon to help both vessels.
