Crewmates rescue fisherman who fell in loch

A fisherman had to be rescued by his crewmates after falling overboard while working on a Scottish loch.

The alarm was raised at about 10:30am yesterday morning after the man fell into the waters of Loch Hourn off the Isle of Skye.

Stornoway Coastguard helicopter and the Mallaig RNLI lifeboat were immediately sent to the scene.

Other vessels were also asked for help and the crew of another fishing boat “raced to the scene”.

The fisherman’s crewmates used a life ring to haul the man out of the water.
