Broughty Ferry’s Water Festival has been hailed as a resounding success.

The festival, organised by Broughty Ferry RNLI, was held at the lifeboat station with heavy showers doing nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of those attending.

Among the activities were mock rescues, face painting and a chance to see the Boatshed Bricks Lego exhibition.

A spokesman said: “Our Water Festival was a huge success  despite the weather. We loved having to visit our BoatShed Bricks exhibition, have a drink at our Toll House Spirits gin bar, enjoy the barbecue, browse our shop, get faces painted and watch our mock rescues.”

Due to the weather, the sailing boats from OGA – The Association for Gaff Rig Sailing were unable to attend.

Our photographer Mhairi Edwards/DC Thomson was there to capture the best moments.
