Man safe after police and lifeboats race to Arbroath cliffs

The man who was at the centre of a search and rescue effort in Arbroath this afternoon has been found safe and well.

Arbroath inshore and all-weather lifeboats were launched and the RNLI crews are being assisted by coastguard teams from Angus and Fife in the operation, which was sparked just before 3pm.

A search and rescue helicopter from RAF Lossiemouth was also scrambled as concerns for the man grew.

The man was found on the cliff top by police at around 4.15pm.
