A hiker suffered a leg injury on a Scots mountain, sparking an emergency response.
The alarm was raised on the evening of Friday, December 16 when Lomond Mountain Rescue Team were alerted to a 'well equipped' walker having hurt their lower leg on the plateau section of Ben Lomond.
Despite being in the middle of their annual AGM, the team sped to the 974-metre peak to assist the casualty, with further reports filtering through that the individual in question was unable to walk, leaving them stranded.
Upon arrival, the victim was tended to by members of the crew who were medically trained. They were taken by stretcher in a 'long descent' to the base of the mountain, where Scottish Ambulance Service was waiting.
Photos taken at the scene, which were shared on social media, show tens of rescuers, decked out with head torches, bright jackets and lugging various bits of safety gear, carrying the person down the steep, snowy terrain.
The age and gender of the casualty is not yet known, nor is the extent of their injuries or if they required hospital treatment as a result of the dramatic event.
A spokesperson for Lomond Mountain Rescue Team said: "A well equipped walker had unfortunately sustained a lower leg injury and was unable to walk off.
"The casualty was assessed on site before a long descent by stretcher to the waiting ambulance. After handover, the team returned to the Drymen base for our AGM, food and a welcome brew."
Scottish Ambulance Service has been contacted for comment.
