A hillwalker was rescued by helicopter on Saturday after sustaining an injury at the top of a summit.
A large group of volunteers from the Moffat Mountain Rescue Team were involved in the complex operation after being alerted to the casualty by Police Scotland at 3.42pm.
The woman was suffering from a suspected broken ankle after an outing with a group near the summit of Knockendoch near New Abbey.
A rescue helicopter was launched to the scene while volunteers made their way up the hill on foot.
They were able to winch the casualty into the helicopter and she was taken to hospital.
A rescue team spokesman said: “At 15:42 Moffat Mountain Rescue Team were contacted by Police Scotland to assist with the evacuation of a lady with a suspected broken ankle.
“Phone find technology was used to quickly and accurately locate the casualty and her party near the summit of Knockendoch near New Abbey.
“Twelve team members responded along with the Rescue 199 helicopter team. Rescue 199 arrived just as team members were making their way up the hill on foot.
“Two team members were also taken from Sweetheart Abbey directly to the casualty site in the helicopter where they joined three team members already with the casualty.
“Team members also assisted to walk the casualty’s party safely off the hill. The team wishes her all the best in her recovery.”
