The mountain is known for its stunning views but can be tricky to navigate. The rescue team arrived quickly, bringing all the necessary gear to help the fallen hiker. They assessed the situation, treated the person, and then carefully carried them down on a stretcher.
After the rescue, the hiker was taken to Raigmore Hospital for further treatment. Thankfully, the team wished them a speedy recovery. It’s a reminder of how important these rescue teams are. They’re all volunteers, ready to help 24/7, and they rely on donations to keep doing their lifesaving work.
Stac Pollaidh is a popular spot, but it’s not for the faint-hearted. It has a steep ascent and can take a couple of hours to hike. The views are worth it, but you’ve got to be careful out there!
