A hiker has been stretchered off a mountain after suffering an injury in the Monadhliath Mountains.
The Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team were called to assist the walker on Monday afternoon after they injured their knee while descending A' Chailleach, which sits to the north of Newtonmore and Kingussie.
“After stretchering the casualty down, we were able to drive them safely off the hill in our Land Rovers,” said a spokesperson for the team.
“We wish the casualty a speedy recovery.”
They added; ““Once again, we’d like to express our sincere gratitude to the local gamekeepers who helped transport our stretcher, kit, and team members up the hill using their Argocat and 6x6 Can-Am.”
