Four crew members have been rescued from a life raft after a vessel ran aground in Aberdeenshire on Monday morning.
After getting into difficulty at about 5,50am, the Fraserburgh RNLI all-weather lifeboat attended the scene at 6.12am.
It picked up the crew members at Cairnbulg Point, Aberdeenshire.
They were taken to Fraserburgh where they were said to be safe and well but were passed into the care of the Scottish Ambulance Service to be checked over.
Coastguard teams from Peterhead and Fraserburgh were also called out to help deal with the incident.
The coastguard said the teams are monitoring the vessel which appears to be sinking, with no signs of any pollution.
