A yacht which lost engine power was assisted into Kirkwall Harbour earlier today.

The 28m long Georgiana, with six people onboard, had earlier sailed through the Westray Firth, heading for Kirkwall.

According to the Coastguard, the OIC Marine Services pilot boat Scapa Pioneer assisted the crew of the yacht to manoeuvre alongside Kirkwall Harbour.
