Volunteers from the Mountain Rescue Team rescued a hillwalker on the Pentland Hills near Edinburgh after he injured his ankle.
In 'foul' wintry conditions, the Tweed Valley Mountain Rescue Team (MRT) made their way up the Pentland Hills after receiving a report that a hill walker injured his ankle while on a hike on Saturday February 18.
At 5.45pm, the MRT were asked by Police Scotland to assist with the evacuation of the walker. However the icy, dark and snowy conditions up the hill meant that a helicopter was unable to assist. Instead, the team used just a stretcher to carry the injured man.
