VOLUNTEER crew from Kyle of Lochalsh lifeboat were called out late on Saturday night after a lone female walker became lost in the dark whilst walking in the Kinloch area of Skye.
Kyle lifeboat Spirit of Fred Olsen launched at 9pm at the request of the UK Coastguard after the walker called Police Scotland when she became disorientated whilst walking on the Kinloch coast.
The lifeboat arrived on scene at 9.20pm and began searching. Crew set off a flare to light up the area and found the woman who was signalling with a torch from dense woodland a short distance from the shoreline.
