Ale rescue funds no small beer

The first Stonehaven Real Ale Festival raised about £3,500 for a local rescue team that helped during the recent serious flooding in the town.

Maritime Rescue Institute (MRI) members used boats to help people stranded in their homes.

The two-day festival was in the town hall on Thursday and Friday.

The Kincardineshire town was among the areas worst affected by heavy rain and flooding which swept many parts of the country last weekend.
