A rescue team has been called out over ten times in the last week.
Loch Lomond Rescue Boat responded to incidents involving five boats, two jet skis, a paddleboarder and two kayakers on Loch Lomond , working alongside Police Scotland and National Park Rangers throughout the week.
Volunteers also supported police by transporting officers to an island for enquiries before being stood down.

The crew responded quickly, often putting aside work and family commitments to help those in need.
A statement issued by the volunteer service said: "As the summer holidays continue, a reminder to anyone heading out onto the Loch, please ensure your vessel is well maintained, carry appropriate safety equipment, and plan ahead before setting off, and if you are in an emergency on Loch Lomond, call 999 and ask for the Police."
