Helicopter search at Kinghorn coast after clothes found on beach

A search is underway off the coast at Kinghorn after items of clothing were found on the beach.

They were discovered near the water at Pettycur Bay, sparking a call out for Kinghorn RNLI around 10:00am this morning.

A rescue helicopter is searching the coast around Kinghorn and Burntisland in case there is a person in the water.

Kinghorn’s lifeboat crew has posted pictures of the items of clothing and appealed to anyone who recognises them to come forward.
