Kyle and Portree RNLI lifeboats went to the scene in the Kylerhea and Glenelg when the alarm was raised at around 6.40pm on Tuesday evening.

However, by the time both crews arrived on the scene shortly before 8pm the tide had receded too far to try and refloat the vessel.

The crew of the 40-metre long fish carrier were transferred to another vessel in the area to wait for the tide to return.Top news stories today Andrew MacDonald, spokesman for Kyle RNLI Lifeboat, said on Tuesday evening: "The vessel ran aground around the time of high tide, therefore by the time ourselves and other assistance arrived on scene, there was no way we could get the boat refloated.

"The decision was made to take the crew off the vessel overnight for their own safety, and at the next high tide in the morning, there will be attempts made to refloat the boat."
