Coastguard teams raced to rescue a kayaker who had fallen into the sea off the East Lothian coast.
The man had been near Dunbar early this morning when he fell into the water after getting into difficulty off shore.
By the time lifeboat crews had reached the man a passing angler, who had spotted him clinging to his kayak, had come to his aid.
After being in the water for some time, the kayaker was extremely cold and shivery but was assessed by paramedics and was found not have any serious injuries.
A Dunbar RNLI spokesman said: “Although the kayaker was well-equipped he had been in the water for sometime and was initially reluctant to call for help.
