Injured woman stuck overnight
A WOMAN was airlifted to hospital yesterday after plunging 50ft down a cliff and being stranded overnight.
The walker, who is in her 30s, was stuck overnight on rocks at Killiedraught Bay near Eye-mouth, Berwickshire, after breaking her leg and ankle in the fall at about 10pm on Wednesday.
A dog walker heard her cries for help yesterday morning and alerted the emergency services.
A rescue helicopter crew airlifted the woman, who had also injured her head and back, to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
The operation was launched at about 6:20am, with coastguard crews from Eyemouth, Dunbar and Humberside.
