Nearly 30 people were rescued from a Scottish island at the weekend as lifeboat crews issued an urgent plea to visitors.
Coastguard rescue crews in Queensferry were drafted in to help 28 casualties who became stranded on Cramond Island.
The huge spike in rescues came as the country saw brighter weather across a busy weekend for the RNLI team.
