Police divers recover items from the fishing boat Kilda as the search goes on for two missing crew off Lewis

Norman 'Tam' Murray, 40, and Murdo Morrison, 23, have not been seen since the Kilda vanished near Port of Ness on 13 October. The body of their crewmate Douglas Craigie, 49, was pulled from the sea hours later. The Marine Accident Investigation Branch exclusion zone between the Butt of Lewis and Port of Ness was lifted at 11.59pm on Thursday. Police have urged the public not to mount their own risky searches.

Divers searched the spot where the Kilda was reportedly last known to be fishing.

Inspector Neil Taylor called it a 'complex operation' needing 'time and space'.

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