Girls rescued from chilly loch
Two young girls playing in a dinghy on 19 May found themselves drifting into open water and jumped overboard to try to swim to shore.
A honeymooning couple spotted them struggling and called the Coastguard. Loch Ness lifeboat launched within 7 minutes but the girls had been in the water for almost 30 minutes when they were pulled onboard. Shivering uncontrollably and having ingested water, they were wrapped in survival bags and sped to shore, where a paramedic and RNLI shore helpers continued first aid until an ambulance arrived. The girls were discharged from hospital later that evening. Watch this at rnli.org.uk/chillyloch.
