A hiker has been rushed to hospital after being rescued from Scotland's second-highest waterfall.
Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team battled torrential rain on Thursday, January 12, to save the walker who had suffered an ankle injury while scaling Steall Gorge located near Fort William in the Highlands. Rescuers quickly located the casualty before medically trained members of the crew applied simple splintage.
The walker was stretchered a short distance to the car park where paramedics from the Scottish Ambulance Service were waiting. The casualty was then rushed to the Belford Hospital.
