A 43 year old man has been rescued after getting into difficulty while trying to rescue a dog that had swum out to sea.
The man became stranded on rocks in the Firth of Forth at Cramond, behind the old Commodore Hotel early on Sunday morning.
Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service said they received a call-out just after 10am.
By the time fire crews arrived on the scene the dog, believed to be a Gordon setter, had swam back to the shore, but the man was trapped on the rocks.
He was rescued using a rope and checked over by an ambulance crew at the scene.
A spokeswoman for the fire service said the man did not require hospital treatment.
