Yacht runs aground in Lochaber

A yacht had to be towed to safety after running into trouble in Lochaber.

Stornoway Coastguard were alerted to the incident at around 11.10am this morning.

A yacht, the Alc En Cello, had run aground in Loch Moidart, west of Fort William.

The Mallaig lifeboat crew was called upon to assist the vessel, which had five people on board, a short time later.

However, the boat had begun to refloat in the water so the lifeboat was only required to tow it a short distance.
