A dramatic video shows a swimmer being rescued from the Firth of Forth by lifeboat.
The Queensferry Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) were called out to a female wild swimmer stranded far out in water at Kirkcaldy on Sunday October 31.
The video shows the team of four on the lifeboat slowly bobbing through stormy conditions to rescue a broken down rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with four passengers on board.
The bright red lifeboat can be seen hitting off the choppy waves as it powers through to rescue the group.
RNLI wrote: “"Sporting" conditions over this weekend which can be viewed via our boat camera footage of Saturday's shout.
"We were tasked to a broken down RIB with 4 passengers onboard, all were towed back to safety.
"The footage shows relief lifeboat "Edna May" carrying out an astern tow, all done at a slow safe speed which means you can feel every wave coming!"
The post was viewed by hundreds of locals in awe at the shocking video.
Just last week Kinghorn RNLI rescued a stranded swimmer close to Kirkcaldy in Fife.
The swimmer had been swept out by a rip tide amongst rocks, leaving her stuck too far out unable to swim back to shore.
With the lady’s permission the team shared the incredible video that shows their life saving work in action.
The video shows the team jumping into action as the orange life boat fires into the water, speeding out.
The team find the swimmer and launch a throwing line towards her before approaching and helping her onto the boat.
RNLI lifeboats in Scotland protect hundreds of communities with a 24-hour search and rescue service and is run by volunteers.
Located in South Queensferry and Established in 1968 in an old tickect office, Queensferry Lifeboat has grown into Scotlands busiest inshore Lifeboat station.
