Both Broughty Ferry lifeboats launched following reports of clothing found on the Tay Road Bridge this morning.
The crews leaped into action just after 6am after the report was made.
The inshore lifeboat was launched at 6.20am. The all-weather lifeboat, Elizabeth of Glamis, was launched a short time later. Both were quickly on scene.
Following an extensive search of the area on both sides up to Kingoodie the crews then searched near to the shore from Dundee to Broughty Ferry, however no one was found.
The lifeboat crews were then stood down.
Both boats returned to base around around 8.45am where they were made ready for any further call outs.
