Lifeboat tows fishing vessel

Stromness Lifeboat has gone to the aid of an Orkney fishing boat which broke down this morning, Monday.

The Celtic Dawn was approximately 30 miles west of Orkney at the time of the incident, and north of Loch Eriboll in Sutherland.

Speaking at lunchtime a Shetland Coastguard spokesman said the fishing boat was under tow by the lifeboat,
which was heading either for Stromness or Scrabster, depending on the conditions.
