A Glasgow man was taking pictures of the scenery after ascending on a hill at a popular tourist attraction before slipping and plunging down.
The hillwalker was climbing the Grey Mare's Tail, near Moffat, when he lost his footing on Saturday morning.
His friends alerted the authorities after he slipped and fell into a burn which swept him downstream before dropping him 15 metres over one of the upper waterfalls, the Daily Record reports.
