Teenager rescues two men who fell from inflatable toy boat off Isle of Skye

Archie Law, 15, sailed his own boat to save men in distress, beating lifeboat service to the scene

A 15-year-old boy rescued two men who had fallen from an inflatable toy boat off the Isle of Skye by sailing his own boat to save them – beating the lifeboat service to the scene.

The teenager, Archie Law, beat a volunteer crew of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) to the rescue on Saturday evening, after the UK coastguard received reports of “two males in difficulty in the water” off Broadford Bay around 9pm.
