A light aircraft had to make a last-ditch emergency landing on Saturday afternoon on an island in the middle of the River Tay.
The plane reportedly experienced mechanical issues with the pilot forced to come down on Mugdrum Island, just off the Fife town of Newburgh, at around 11.30am.
He was uninjured but stranded on the island with lifeboat crews from Broughty Ferry rushing to the scene.
A spokesperson for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) said: “RNLI volunteer lifeboat and shore crews launched the inshore lifeboat within eight minutes of receiving the call.
“On arrival at Mugdrum Island at 12.25pm the volunteer crew found the pilot of a light aircraft uninjured and well but stranded on the island.
“The crew assisted the pilot on to the lifeboat before transporting him to Newburgh where he disembarked.
The RNLI crew were stood down from the incident by the Coastguard service at 1pm and made their way back to Broughty Ferry Station, arriving just after 2pm before preparing the lifeboat for any further calls.”
