Two 16-year-old girls had to be rescued by a lifeboat after they were cut off by the tide between Burntisland and Kinghorn on Sunday afternoon.
Kinghorn RNLI lifeboat was called at 2.20pm and successfully rescued the girls, who were both taken to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy for treatment.
Fife police, ambulance personnel and four fire tenders attended the scene. A Kinghorn RNLI spokesman said the girls were cold and frightened but were otherwise in a good condition.
The girls, both 16, were stuck on rocks to the east of Burntisland. The lifeboat crew quickly located the casualties and recovered them into the lifeboat before taking them to Burntisland harbour where they were assessed by an ambulance crew.
Helmsman Scott McIlravie said: “A F3/4 southerly onshore wind, coupled with the large spring tide, made it quite difficult to get the lifeboat safely into the wall to rescue the pair.”
Earlier Kinghorn lifeboat crew were paged just after noon to assist Queensferry lifeboat with the rescue of six people, including two children, from the Cramond Island causeway.
They arrived just after the Queensferry lifeboat and stood by while the distressed casualties were taken ashore.
