Irene Wright has heaped praise on crews who rushed to her aid after a nasty accident at Port Carrick beach
A grateful gran has thanked rescuers who hauled her from an Ayrshire beach after she broke her foot. Irene Wright, from Shilford, near Barrhead, has heaped praise on crews who rushed to her aid after a nasty accident at Port Carrick beach, near Culzean Castle, left her unable to walk.
Girvan RNLI used a smaller dingy boat to whisk Irene off the beach to their all-weather lifeboat, which then raced her to Maidens, near Turnberry, where paramedics were waiting. Irene said: “All I knew was I was in extreme pain. I’d went over a large stone on a grassy path. Irene’s husband Peter immediately called the Culzean park rangers, who were at the scene within minutes. They were quickly followed by coastguard teams and Girvan Lifeboat, who all descended to the beach to help Irene.
“I want to personally thank Ashley Evans from National Trust Scotland. I’ve still got her NTS fleece which she brought down for me.
