A Norwegian hiker who needed help while travelling in the Highlands was delighted to be met by Scottish rescue workers – but was less happy when they told him his team had lost to Scotland in the Euro football qualifiers.
The unnamed Nordic rambler had been undertaking a days-long walk across the Isle of Skye when he found himself stuck near the abandoned clearance village of Suisnish early on Sunday morning. Rescue workers from the Skye and Kintail mountain rescue teams were deployed to help him back to civilisation.
Aid workers say that the hiker was "in pretty good spirits" when they found him. However, he was rather less delighted to find out that his national side had been beaten 2-1 in a last-minute shocker against Scotland on Saturday night.
