A man has died after a fall on a Highland mountain.
The walker fell 200m (650ft) from An Teallach, near Dundonnell, in Wester Ross. Members of Assynt Mountain Rescue Team went to help the unnamed man who was with a group on the 1,062m (3,484 ft) mountain.
They went to his aid after police received an emergency call at 1.15pm on Saturday. Staff from RAF Kinloss and Stornoway Coastguard also assisted the rescue.
The man was airlifted to Raigmore Hospital, Inverness, but pronounced dead on arrival.
