'Dark day for Lewis' as one fisherman dead and two missing
Police say a body has been found in the search for three men who were onboard a fishing boat that has gone missing off the Western Isles. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said the alarm was raised at about 21:20 on Tuesday when it emerged the boat was overdue from Lewis. A plane, two helicopters, two lifeboats and volunteers were making searches off the Port of Ness in north Lewis. Local councillor Kenneth Macleod said it was a very dark day for islanders, and their thoughts were with the families of the three men. Police Scotland said: The body of one of the men has been recovered, however formal identification is yet to take place.
