An injured seal pup was rescued by a group of kind-hearted tourists after it was found on a Scots beach. The orphaned animal was discovered on Earlsferry Beach near Leven, in Fife, on Monday, August 8.

The pup was suffering from a soft palate injury that had become infected. Affectionately named Rocky, locals on the beach built a cordon around him to keep him safe and called the SSPCA.Karlyn Evans, an interior designer from Glasgow, was one of the first on the scene.She told the Record: "I was at the beach reading my book when a little boy shouted to say 'look there's a seal'.

I have visited Earlsferry beach for over 45 years and there has never been a seal on the beach."A group of us created a semi circle barrier around him to stop dogs and people from approaching him.

We made sure that any dogs were put on leads. About an hour later, a large crow swooped down and spooked him."Rocky retreated back into the water, and we lost sight of him.
