A 34-year-old woman has been airlifted to hospital following the birth of her baby on Mull.
Rescue teams were scrambled to the west coast island shortly before 9.50am this morning following reports a woman had gone into labour.
Rescue helicopter 199 from Prestwick was tasked to attend alongside a local coastguard team and paramedics.
The emergency response was prompted by the arrival of the premature infant.
In light of the remote location, the pair were taken by helicopter to be transported to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.
A coastguard spokesman said: “Rescue 199, Craignure coastguard and the ambulance service were called at around 9.47am today to assist a 34-year-old woman and her newborn infant on the Isle of Mull.
“They were transferred to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow.”
