A teenager is appealing to find the strangers who saved him, his younger cousin and his uncle from drowning in the Lake District last week

Mahmood said a man jumped into the water and rescued his cousin, while a woman told him to hold hands with his uncle and dragged the pair safely to shore."Everyone was just in shock. We gave them some of our biscuits and juice, but we realised afterwards we did not ask them for their contact details or their names and we really want to thank them personally.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the tragedies were"a reminder that the beauty of some of our waters belies the dangers they hold". A senior officer from Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said last weekend was one of the worst in memory for the service. Alasdair Perry urged those swimming in open water to adhere to safety advice, not to leave young people unattended, and to ensure they do not swim after consuming alcohol.
