A walker on Caisteal Abhail, one of the four Corbetts making up the Sleeping Warrior, had to be evacuated by the Arran Mountain Rescue Team (AMRT) and taken to hospital by helicopter on Monday after sustaining an ankle injury.
Receiving a call-out shortly after 2.30pm on a blisteringly hot day, the AMRT made their way up onto the ridge below Caisteal Abhail from the top of the Boguillie in both Argocats and, after a short hike, the casualty was located on the summit block.
After assessing and treating his injuries, the walker, who was part of a group, was loaded on to a stretcher and evacuated to University Hospital Crosshouse with the help of emergency helicopter Rescue 199.
