Yesterday morning at 10:07, Lomond MRT were called by Police Scotland following concerns being raised about a party overdue from an overnight camp on Ben Lomond.

As we were deploying, a team member who was on Ben Lomond for a training run was advised by a member of the public that a party fitting the description had been seen descending the main path earlier in the morning.

This was subsequently confirmed by Police Scotland who met the party at Rowardennan allowing a stand down to be issued.

🏔️ ICAR - International Mountain Rescue Day
Today we’re celebrating International Mountain Rescue Day – and the spirit of collaboration that has connected mountain rescuers around the world for generations.

On 28 August 1948, mountain rescue pioneers from across Europe gathered at the Wilder Kaiser range in Austria. They shared knowledge, experience and ideas – laying the foundations for what would become the International Commission for Alpine Rescue (ICAR), officially established in 1955.

Today, ICAR brings together more than 140 mountain rescue organisations from 41 countries. Scottish Mountain Rescue is proud to be a member of this international community.

Being part of ICAR means learning from mountain rescuers around the world, sharing our own experience from Scotland’s mountains, and helping to develop the knowledge, techniques and best practice that save lives in the mountains.

Today, we celebrate the volunteers and professionals around the world who work together to bring people safely home. ❤️🏔️
