Praise has been heaped on the helpful souls of Angus who ensured an injured pensioner received urgent medical treatment. Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance was called to Lunan Bay on Monday after an elderly lady badly injured her hip.
A thick sea haar had descended over the coast in the afternoon and the helicopter was unable to land on the beach where the woman lay stranded with her partner. The fog forced the crew to land in a field in Maryton — three miles from the beach — but the paramedics were rushed to the scene at the beach thanks to two good Samaritans. The helpers drove the ambulance crew to the car park at Lunan Bay where they met up with the road ambulance unit who were already treating the woman.
