A hiker had to be airlifted to safety after a horror fall near the summit of a Scots munro.
The hillwalker had been scaling Ben Cruachan in Argyll and Bute during the evening of Monday, September 12, when they plummeted near the peak of the mountain. They were left with multiple fractures as a result and had had to be put on a stretcher before being winched onboard a Coastguard.
