Coastguard call off Nairn search after false alarm By Ashleigh Barbour September 5 2014, 9:51 pm September 5 2014, 9:51 pm Share Coastguard call off Nairn search after false alarm Share via Facebook Twitter Whatsapp Messenger Linkedin Email Post link https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/inverness/337202/coastguard-call-nairn-search-false-alarm/ Copy Link A search was launched off the coast of Nairn last night after a member of the public thought they spotted a body in the water. However, the sighting near the Nairn Golf Course turned out to be a false alarm when all the coastguards could find were creel markers. Aberdeen Coastguard received the call around 8.15pm and sent out the Nairn coastguard team and a Findhorn rescue boat to check the water. A coastguard spokesman said the top of a creel marker can often be mistaken for a human head.
