A family and their two dogs had to be rescued<\/a> by lifeboats from a popular Edinburgh beauty spot.<\/p>\n On Monday May 26 at around 12.42pm on May 26, lifeboat<\/a> crews from Queensferry raced to Cramond Island after receiving a report that one adult, two children and two dogs were cut off by the tide.<\/p>\n The lifeboat launched in strong winds, and the crews rescued the casualties safely. No injuries were reported, according to Edinburgh Live<\/a>.<\/p>\n The RNLI<\/a> has warned those planning on visiting the coast to check the tide times and bring a means for calling for help.<\/p>\n RNLI Queensferry <\/a>posted on social media: “At 12.42 on Monday 26th May, at the request of HM Coastguard, Queensferry RNLI lifeboat and volunteer crew responded to reports of one adult, two children and two dogs cut off by the tide on Cramond Island.<\/p>\n “The lifeboat<\/a> launched in strong winds and moderate seas. Crew recovered the casualties, who were well and uninjured, to the lifeboat and brought them to Cramond Village to be met by the Queensferry Coastguard Team.<\/p>\n “If you are planning a visit to the coast, we advise that you check the tide times and always bring a means for calling for help<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Always check signage or text CRAMOND to 81400 for the day\u2019s safe crossing times. In an emergency<\/a>, do not attempt to wade through rising water. Instead, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.”<\/p>\n On Sunday, in a separate incident, we reported that a person was airlifted to hospital<\/a> after a family got into serious trouble in the water at a popular Scots beauty spot over the weekend.<\/p>\n Emergency services launched a major response on Saturday afternoon after reports of people struggling in the sea at Tyninghame Beach in East Lothian.<\/a> Three individuals were pulled from the water – one of whom required urgent medical attention.<\/p>\n A search and rescue helicopter from HM Coastguard<\/a> landed directly on the beach to airlift the most seriously injured casualty to hospital, while paramedics treated the two others at the scene.<\/p>\n Dunbar\u2019s RNLI crew<\/a> were dispatched at around 2.40pm on May 24 after the group became caught in a powerful rip current. An experienced surfer, who happened to be nearby, played a vital role in the rescue – bringing the family back to shore before lifeboat crews arrived.<\/p>\n Jamie Forrester, helm at Dunbar RNLI<\/a>, said: \u201cWhen we arrived, all three casualties needed medical help\u2014one of them was in a particularly bad way. We did what we could until the helicopter and ambulance crews arrived.<\/p>\n “Tyninghame Beach is known for its dangerous rip currents<\/a>, which can be hard to spot. This was a stark reminder of how quickly things can go wrong at the coast. Without the quick-thinking surfer, this incident could have ended very differently.\u201d<\/p>\n RNLI volunteers<\/a> remained on the scene until around 3.55pm before returning to their station.<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/500526849_1145178577636101_1115909647203853388_n.jpg\")
