A stricken hillwalker who sustained serious leg injuries on a mountain in the Highlands was airlifted to hospital after a rescue operation.
The alarm was raised on Friday afternoon when Assynt Mountain Rescue Team were made aware of a female walker in her 50s, who had fallen on Quinag - an 808m high mountain range in Sutherland.
Twelve crew members were dispatched to the mountain and located the casualty who had suffered injuries to her ankle and knee.
