Meg the sheep dog rescued from Scottish cliff
Coastguard rescue teams from Kilchoan (Cille Chòmhain), Tobermory (Tobar Mhoire) and Salen (An t-Sàilein) in the west of Scotland swung into action yesterday when a farmer reported that his working sheep dog Meg had become stranded on a cliff on Ardnamurchan Point. Ardnamurchan (Àird nam Murchan) is a 50-square-mile (130 km2) peninsula. Meg was 20ft down the cliff face on the south side of Ardnamurchan. The rescuers were assisted by the Tobermory Lifeboat.
The rescue was successful after one of the coastguard team was lowered over the cliff on a rope to rescue Meg, who was uninjured. Tobermory Coastguard said: "It was a great multi agency rescue with coastguard teams from Kilchoan CRT, Salen CRT, Tobermory CRT and Tobermory RNLI helping wee Meg."
"It was a successful technical rope rescue - with the help of a few doggy biscuits!"
