Emergency services were called to Newtonhill last night after a villager aged 72 fell from a cliff path.

The alarm was raised at 8.30pm by someone walking their dog, with a rescue helicopter coming from Inverness, and coastguard, police, ambulance and lifeboat all in attendance.

The man was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for observation. He had not broken any bones.
