A 29ft racing yacht has sunk after running aground in a bay on the Firth of Forth.

Seven people were on board the Jezebel Two when it hit rocks off North Queensferry. All made it safely ashore.

The incident happened when the vessel was going round the bay at about 1500 BST.

South Queensferry and Kinghorn coastguard teams, as well as Queensferry lifeboat, were called out to assist the crew.
