Emergency rescue teams rushed to the Newhaven seawall after reports of a person injured on Monday afternoon.
Crews from South Queensferry Coastguard, Kinghorn RNLI Lifeboat, Fisherrow Coastguard and Kinghorn Coastfuard were called to assist the Scottish Ambulance Service in dealing with the incident shortly before 1.20pm.
The role of coastguard crews was to provide safety cover as ambulance teams tried to treat and move the casualty on the slippery seawall surface. They were stood down after medics were able to get the injured person safely back up to the road.
Kinghorn RNLI Lifeboat shared details of the incident on social media, posting: "We were called out at 1.19pm after a person fell on the seawall at Newhaven. Although the tide was out, the lifeboat was requested to provide safety cover to the ambulance and coastguard personnel who were treating and moving the casualty in case any of them slipped or fell.
"The volunteer crew stood off whilst Scottish Ambulance Service crew, South Queensferry Coastguard, Fisherrow Coastguard and Kinghorn Coastguard responded. Once the casualty and rescuers were all safely back up the wall, the lifeboat was stood down."
The Scottish Ambulance Service has been contacted by Edinburgh Live for further information.
