A Dutch hillwalker fell and injured himself in the Skye Cuillin on Sunday afternoon. The weather conditions were bad and his companion had to make a two-and-a-half hour descent to raise the alarm for his companion.

Eighteen members of Skye Mountain Rescue Team and a coastguard helicopter rescued the 68 year old, four hours after his initial fall. It is understood that the walker required hospital treatment for facial and arm injuries.
