Lifeboat called after pleasure craft runs aground

A lifeboat was launched after a large cabin cruiser ran aground in Loch Ness.

The craft, carrying five people, was reported banked near Foyers after several passers-by spotted it and called 999 at around 3.30 pm.

Loch Ness lifeboat was dispatched but the crew had already managed to refloat themselves by the time they arrived.

The lifeboat helped guide the cabin cruiser back to port.

An Aberdeen Coastguard spokesman said: “They’re are no injuries.”
