Loch Ness lifeboat picks up drifting vessel

The Loch Ness lifeboat crew has been called out after reports of a drifting boat on the waterway.

The abandoned vessel was spotted at around 11.30am north of Urquhart Bay.

A spokesman for Aberdeen Coastguard said that it was thought that the open boat had probably broken free of its moorings.

He added that the lifeboat crew would tow it back to their base at Temple Pier, where local Coastguards would also attend.
