A woman was rushed to hospital on a lifeboat off the coast of Mull on Tuesday afternoon after sustaining a 'serious' head injury.
Tobermory RNLI's volunteer crew jumped to the aid of the female crew member of a yacht following an emergency alert by the UK Coastguard.
Lifeboat Elizabeth Fairlie Ramsey was launched to the scene in the Sound of Mull and two crew who were transferred to the yacht quickly realised that the injured woman needed to be urgently evacuated to Oban for hospital care.
