A REPORT of a dinghy adrift on a beach near Plockton last night triggered a Ross-shire lifeboat launch.
The Kyle RNLI crew launched at 9.47pm after the UK Coastguard received reports of a dinghy adrift off Dubhaird beach in the Plockton area.
The lifeboat arrived on scene within 10 minutes and crew made sure that there was no-one on board the 10-ft dinghy before towing it ashore and handing it over to the local Coastguard unit from Kyle.
The lifeboat then returned to the station and was refuelled and ready for service by 10:50pm.
