A dog had to be rescued after falling and getting stuck down a gorge at a Scottish beauty spot.

Teams from Lomond Mountain Rescue launched a rescue mission on Sunday morning at the Devil’s Pulpit area of Finnich Glen after being alerted by Scottish Fire and Rescue to reports of a dog falling 30-metres.

The dog, Margo, was rescued by teams using rigging equipment.

Margo was reunited with its owner with only some “bumps and scrapes”.

Lomond MRT posted on Facebook: “At 11.33am on Sunday, Lomond MRT were called to assist Scottish fire and rescue in the recovery of a dog which had fallen 30 metres into the Devil’s Pulpit area of Finnich Glen.

“Once on scene, a rescue plan was agreed, and a rigging system was quickly and efficiently organised to lower a team member down to the dog.

“The dog, Margo, was very cooperative with its rescuer and was soon hauled back up onto the bank, where it was reunited with its owner and taken to be checked over by a vet.

“Amazingly, little Margo has only some bumps and scrapes to show for her adventures.”
