A hillwalker was airlifted to hospital with multiple injuries after he fell while climbing the Grey Mare’s Tail near Moffat on Saturday morning.
The man, from the Glasgow area, was with friends who raised the alarm after he lost his footing and fell into a burn which swept him downstream before dropping him 15 metres over one of the upper waterfalls.
He was then carried along in the rushing water before managing to stop himself and a rescue operation sprang into action.
