A multi-agency rescue mission was launched in the Borders after a person plunged from a set of costal rocks.
Coastguard and RNLI crews were scrambled to the horror fall on Killiedraught Bay in Eyemouth on Sunday, May 7 at 1.05pm. Crews from Berwick Coastguard Rescue team, Dunbar Coastguard and RNLI Eyemouth Lifeboat attended and on arrival, a hiker was found injured.
They were provided medical assistance at the scene. Dramatic images from the rescue mission show rescue teams scrambling through rocks before the casualty is carried by a stretcher onto a nearby beach.
Their current condition is unknown.
A statement from Eyemouth Coastguard reads: "Eyemouth Coastguard along with Berwick Coastguard rescue team were tasked on Sunday to locate a person who had fallen on the rocks and sustained injuries.
