A walker has died after falling on a Munro despite the efforts of mountain rescuers.
Killin Mountain Rescue Team (MRT) was called to Ben More, in the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, where they were training on Saturday afternoon.
Team members and equipment were transported up the hill with the aid of a coastguard rescue helicopter but faced challenging weather conditions and low cloud level.
Rescuers found the casualty and began administering immediate first aid for “serious injuries”, however the person was pronounced dead.
Killin MRT said: “Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of our members on scene, the casualty sadly was pronounced dead on the hill. The team thereafter evacuated the casualty off the hill.
“Our thoughts are very much with the family and friends of the individual, and we offer them our sincerest condolences.
“Equally, our thoughts are with the team members who were involved and assisted with this tragic incident.”
