At 1.30pm today the RNLI Queensferry Lifeboat was called out to assist a catamaran.

The yacht with two men aboard was caught in a bank of fog between Cramond and Granton.

Scott Finlay and Jordan Turnbull both from Edinburgh had earlier set out from Cramond in their catamaran only to be enveloped in a bank of fog with visibility down to a few yards.

They managed to tie up to a buoy and then summoned help. The RNLI Queensferry Lifeboat crew located them within minutes and safely landed them ashore at Granton Harbour.
