An air and sea search is due to resume for a teenager missing after the boat he was in capsized off the coast of Aberdeenshire.
It is understood the 18-year-old was out in a small fishing boat with two friends, both 17, when the vessel got into trouble and turned over.
The two others managed to swim to rocks between Banff and Whitehills and raise the alarm shortly before 0100 BST.
The boat has been recovered but there is still no sign of the missing man.
The search is set to resume at about 0800 BST.
The 18-year-old and his two friends set off from Banff between 1100 BST and 1130 BST on Thursday.
After their vessel flooded, they ended up in the water and started to swim for shore.
When one of them reached land he ran to a local hotel and raised the alarm. The second teenager reached the shore shortly afterwards.
Both were taken to hospital suffering from hypothermia. None of them was wearing a lifejacket.
Banff, Gardenstown, Portsoy and Buckie Coastguard Rescue Teams were scrambled, along with Buckie and Macduff RNLI lifeboats.
The RAF rescue helicopter from Lossiemouth also joined the search.
