Emergency services were called to help a kayaker who was reported to be in difficulty on the River Tay.
Lifeboat and coastguard teams were called to the scene near Invergowrie on Tuesday.
However, it was discovered the kayaker was safe and well.
A spokesperson for HM Coastguard said: “We received a report of a kayaker in difficulty on the River Tay near Invergowrie.
“We sent Broughty Ferry inshore lifeboat and coastguard teams from Dundee and St Andrews.
“However, the report turned out to be a false alarm with good intent.
“The kayaker wasn’t in difficulty and got themselves safely to shore and the lifeboat and coastguard teams were stood down.”
