Coastguards have launched an appeal for information to trace the owner of two kayaks.

The vessels were discovered by a fishing vessel about a mile off Routenburn.

At approximately 9.29am on Friday, August 14, the Greenock Coastguard team was alerted to the scene, with the Largs Coastguard team also in attendance.

A spokesperson for Greenock Coastguard Rescue Team said: "We are currently trying to trace the owner of these kayaks.

"If you are the owner or know how to get in touch with them, please contact Belfast Coastguard on 03443820037."

Cumbrae, Dunoon, and Rothesay Coastguard Rescue Teams were also made aware of the situation.



The spokesperson reminded residents to call 999 and ask for the Coastguard in a coastal emergency.

The Coastguard teams will be at Greenock Community Fire Station's open day on Saturday, August 15.

The event will run from 11am until 3pm, with residents welcomed to attend.
