BBC are reporting:"Emergency services have been dealing with a crash involving a small aircraft on the Black Isle in the Highlands.
The incident which is believed to involve a gyrocopter happened near Avoch, a village on the Moray Firth coast, at about 12:55.
Police Scotland said it had received a report of a light aircraft having come down in a field.
Four Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) appliances and two ambulances were sent to the scene.
The Scottish Ambulance Service said it had also dispatched a community responder and Pre-hospital Immediate Care and Trauma team from Inverness.
