Freak wave capsizes kayaker trio

Three sea kayakers have been rescued after capsizing in Loch Glencoul at Kylesku in Sutherland.

The trio were in a party of seven making their way to a bothy just after midnight when they overturned after being hit by a freak wave.

They were rescued by the Lochinver Lifeboat.

However, one of the men was winched onto a coastguard rescue helicopter and taken to Stornoway on Lewis with suspected hypothermia.
