A man was rescued from the River Tay off Dundee in one of two incidents involving the Broughty Ferry lifeboat station at the weekend.
He was seen in the water between the road and rail bridges about 12.15am on Sunday, and the alarm was raised.
The RNLI’s two vessels were launched and the inshore craft reached him first. Crew members were able to pull him on board and then transfer him to the offshore lifeboat where he received first aid.
The man, in his 20s, was taken back to the lifeboat station where a waiting ambulance took him to Ninewells Hospital.
On Saturday afternoon, the inshore lifeboat was called the short distance to Broughty Ferry harbour where a female swimmer was in distress.
The woman had been with a group of friends who had gone swimming to cool off in the sunshine. The friends came out of the water but the woman chose to stay in.
Concerned for her welfare, her friends called the emergency services.
Police and the lifeboat crew were summoned and the scene attracted onlookers whose presence caused the woman to become more upset.
She then composed herself and came safely out of the water as the inshore lifeboat arrived.
Police said she had been drinking alcohol but was unscathed by the episode.
