A lifeboat was launched last night after concerns were raised for the safety of a person on the Arbroath cliffs.
Arbroath lifeboat and officers from Police Scotland were dispatched to the area at 11.30pm.
The person was located and talked down by police officers.
The individual was then taken away just after midnight.
A spokeswoman for HM Coastguard said: “There was a report of a person on the cliffs at Arbroath. The call came in at 11.30pm and the matter was resolved shortly after midnight.
“The person was found by the police.”
