A coastguard rescue helicopter has airlifted 15 crew members from a fishing vessel off Shetland.

The 30m vessel, Coelleira, made a distress call after running onto rocks at Vee Skerries near Papa Stour, at about 01:30.

The RNLI Aith lifeboat was called out, along with Sumburgh and Lerwick Coastguard Rescue Teams.

None of the crew appear to be injured and they are being cared for by the Fishermen's Mission.
