NatureScot said in one case a paddleboarder was reported to have landed on a sandbank at Loch Fleet.

Watersport visitors to a Highland loch are being warned to keep their distance from seals after a series of recent bids to take selfies.The agency said disturbing the mammals could lead to them becoming abandoned, stranded or orphaned.

Adam Rose, the agency's Loch Fleet national nature reserve manager, said: "With the combination of summer holidays, good weather, lots of places to launch at Loch Fleet and the short distance to seal haul-out sites on the nature reserve, we're really concerned about how the seals could be affected. "The tide and currents can be very strong on Loch Fleet, so take particular care if you're out on the water."
