A statement from Glencoe Mountain Rescue reads: "A bit of video from a recent rescue, showing the integrated working between GMRT and Rescue 151 operated by Bristow Group on behalf of HM Coastguard.
"Our volunteers were alerted by Police Scotland to a walker with a limb injury in the Hidden Valley. On arrival at the scene, specially trained casualty care volunteers were able to offer initial treatment of the injury including pain relief.
"The casualty was then packaged so they would be ready for winching into the helicopter. This was followed by some excellent flying by the crew of 151 in very tricky conditions to hoist the walker while team volunteers operated a HI-line to prevent the casualty and Winch Paramedic from spinning during the lift."
