Members of Anstruther lifeboat crew can be made out on the foreshore in this photograph providing first aid while a helicopter prepares to lift an injured climber to safety.

The lifeboat was on service on 14 May when the coastguard asked her to investigate a report that a climber had fallen on cliffs at Kencraig Point, only 10 minutes away.

She arrived to find a man waving for help and so the small X Boat was inflated and two first aiders from the crew were landed to assist the man's companion who had fallen some 30ft.

Due to the nature of his injuries a helicopter was called and while awaiting its arrival the coastguard cliff rescue team arrived and lowered a doctor and nurse down the cliff, helped by the lifeboat crew.

The station honorary secretary described the service as 'a text book team effort, involving all the services.'.
