LLRBTwo walkers have been rescued after falling from height on the West Highland Way.
Loch Lomond Rescue Boat (LLRB) was called by Police Scotland to reports of three people on the popular walking route who had fallen and were in need of immediate medical help.
The boat was launched to the group’s location near Island I Vowm on the east of Loch Lomond, around 3.55pm on July 22.
Two people were found to have fallen from height and landed on rocks.
Due to their location, Arrochar Mountain Rescue Team also had to be called in to extract the injured walkers.
A spokesperson for LLRB said: “With the assistance of Arrochar Mountain Rescue Team utilising rope techniques, we lowered and loaded the first patient onto the Rescue Boat and conveyed them to the waiting ambulance at Inveruglus.
“We then returned to collect the remaining casualty and crew before again returning to Inveruglus to meet the second ambulance. Crew stood down at 8.30pm and returned to base.
“We wish both casualties a speedy recovery and would like to thank Arrochar Mountain Rescue team and Scottish ambulance colleagues for their assistance.”
A third injured walker left the scene and did not require medical attention.
