RHU playgroup enjoyed stories about a boy called Rory who had a dog called Macduff when they went along to see the Helensburgh lifeboat at Rhu Marina.

Lifeboat organiser Edith Benson said: “The kids had a lovely time, we were delighted to see them — it was a great afternoon with lovely weather as well. It was such a happy day.”
