Stromness Lifeboat crew went to the aid of a charter boat which suffered from hydraulic problems in Clestrain Sound on Saturday evening.

The lifeboat was launched just after 6pm to head to the vessel, Lady Rose, which had eight people onboard at the time of the incident.

The lifeboat then towed the vessel the short distance back to Stromness Harbour, with the lifeboat back in and ready for service shortly after 7pm.
