Lifeboat crew bring confused duo home
A LIFEBOAT crew sprung into action when a catamaran with two men aboard came unstuck in a bank of fog between Cramond and Granton in the Firth of Forth.
The Queensferry lifeboat was launched after sailors Scott Finlay and Jordan Turnbull, both from Edinburgh, used a mobile phone to contact the coastguard at about 1.30pm yesterday.
It is understood that the men had become disorientated in the fog after leaving Cramond.

"The Queensferry lifeboat was dispatched and brought them to safety."
