Thurso cliffs

Anybody know whats happening at the cliffs next to the campsite?

Police, ambulance, fire brigade and the lifeboat is out.

Hope nobody's fallen off again.

From what I hear, a man walking his dog has fallen off. The inflatable lifeboat took him to Scrabster, and the helicopter is waiting to take to Aberdeen.

A 42-year-old man has been flown to hospital after falling from cliffs at Thurso, Caithness.

The man was pushing a hand-cart along Victoria Walk on the town's seafront before plunging more than 70 feet onto the rocky foreshore.

A full-scale rescue involving ambulance, coastguard, lifeboat, fire and police crews was launched.

The man was airlifted to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness. His condition is not known

This is such a sad story...my heart goes out to the family. I am led to believe that something similar happened in the recent past....maybe its time the cliffs were made a bit safer. ??
