Rescuers have saved a dog from a cliff edge at a popular Loch Ness waterfall.

Coastguard rescue teams from Cromarty, Burghead and Inverness were called to the Falls of Foyers at around 9.50am on Friday morning after a dog went over a cliff edge.

A rescue operation was launched before the dog was safely recovered.

The animal was then able to be reunited with its owner.

The Falls of Foyers is a 140-foot waterfall near the small village of Foyers. It drops into a gorge and winds its way through a forest until it meets Loch Ness.
