Seven people were rescued from an upturned catamaran off the west coast of Scotland tonight.

The group was clinging to the 16-metre French yacht which capsized in the waters near Mallaig when the lifeboat arrived at around 9.45pm.

The crew was taken ashore, with none injured.

Stornoway Coastguard confirmed that the vessel would be towed back to shore later.
