A rare orange lobster has been caught by fishermen on the Inner Hebrides.

The crustacean, normally blue-black in colour, was discovered in the catch of Innes Henderson on the Isle of Coll, to the west of Mull.

Mr Henderson donated the unusual specimen to Deep Sea World in North Queensferry, which said the odds of finding an orange lobster are around one in 10 million. The bright colour could be down to a genetic mutation, according to experts.
