Fort Augustus, UK, 29 June 2019. Passengers on a pleasure cruiser had to be rescued by RNLI lifeboat and Coastguard on Saturday evening when their boat ran aground on Loch Ness. The 4-person vessel, operated by Caley Cruisers, became "grounded hard" according to one member of the Coastguard team. All passengers were rescued and taken to Fort Augustus, where the Coastguard attempted to find accommodation for them. Director of Caley Cruisers, Audrey Hogan, who was at the scene, said: "The passengers should never have been in that position." Credit: Andrew Smith
