KYLE OF LOCHALSH | 13 SEPTEMBER
A canoeist endured a night alone in a cave by Loch Carron after slipping and injuring himself. In the morning he crawled out to get reception on his mobile and called for help. The crew of the Kyle of Lochalsh lifeboat treated the casualty for a suspected fractured ankle, and moved him on a stretcher. A few hours later, the crew also treated an 89-year-old man, with a severely lacerated face, who had slipped while walking along a remote bay south of Balmacara.
