A woman has been airlifted to hospital in Edinburgh after plunging 50 feet down a cliff.
The walker was stranded overnight on rocks in Eyemouth, Berwickshire, after breaking her leg and ankle in the fall at around 10pm on Wednesday night.
A dog walker heard her cries for help on Thursday morning and alerted the emergency services.
Forth Coastguard said a rescue helicopter crew from RAF Boulmer airlifted the woman to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
The casualty, who is in her 30s, also injured her head and back in the fall at Killiedraught Bay.
The rescue operation was launched at around 6.20am, with coastguard crews from Eyemouth, Dunbar and Humberside.
