BLACK Isle brothers who took on a customised triathlon to help local lifesavers doubled their target after being "overwhelmed" by people's generosity.

Robbie (6) and Fergus (2) Bisset swam, ran and cycled to boost the coffers of Kessock RNLI at the weekend.

The dynamic duo were given a heroes' welcome by crew volunteers after completing lengths of the swimming pool in Inverness, laps of the track outside and the cycling across a wind-buffeted Kessock Bridge to reach the station.

Mum Kim said: "It went so well, the boys did absolutely fantastic.Each completed their challenge Fergus even managed to add an extra lap on the track. They have now raised just over £1000 – just incredible. We're totally overwhelmed by people's generosity. They were lucky not to be blown off the bridge when cycling over – it was pretty windy!

"What a welcome we got for the amazing crew at Kessock station. They had folk on the bridge cheering on the boys and Stormy Stan joined them for the last bit of cycle again to an amazing welcome from friends family and the lifeboat team. It was just a fantastic day.
