Lifeboat crews launched to assist people in the sea on inflatable dinghy
Lunan Bay
A number of people floating out to sea near Montrose this afternoon sparked the launch of RNLI lifeboats.
Coastguard teams requested the launch of both Montrose Lifeboat and Montrose ILB at around 3.45pm on Monday, July 26.
The coastguard also requested the assistance of a Fast Rescue Craft (FRC) from the nearby Magne Viking while the boats were en route.
People were spotted floating out to sea on inflatable toys and dinghy near Red Castle at Lunan Bay, around four miles from Montrose.
They were luckily able to self rescue back to the shore where they were met by Montrose coastguard who offered help and advice.
