A young man from Germany who was on a camping holiday in Scotland with a group of school pals has been rescued after falling from a hill in the Highlands.
The incident took place around 10pm yesterday when one of the men slipped on the rocks just north of Achmelvich beach, near Lochinver, and injured his ankle.
Unable to walk, his friends managed to help him back to their campsite and called the Scottish Ambulance Service for assistance.
