Police divers recover items from the vanished fishing boat Kilda off Isle of Lewis as two crew remain missing

Norman 'Tam' Murray, 40, and Murdo Morrison, 23, are still unaccounted for ten days after the Kilda disappeared on 13 October. Their crewmate Douglas Craigie, 49, was pulled from the sea in the early hours of the following morning. Police Scotland's dive and marine unit found the items off Port of Ness, the last spot the boat was known to be fishing. Inspector Neil Taylor said officers are 'doing everything we can to get answers'.

The exclusion zone between the Butt of Lewis and Port of Ness lifted on Thursday night.

Police begged locals: 'Please do not attempt to carry out searches' that risk harm.

A GoFundMe for the families has raised more than £148,000, beating its £110,000 target.
