A man has been taken to hospital after falling from Arbroath cliffs.
A major rescue operation was launched just after 5pm on Sunday after reports the man had fallen at the cliffs – which are more than 200ft tall at some points.
Arbroath, Stonehaven and Dundee coastguard teams attended the incident alongside both RNLI lifeboats and medics from the Scottish Ambulance Service.
A spokeswoman for HM Coastguard confirmed the lifeboat rescued the man and took him to Arbroath Harbour.
