THE Ochils Mountain Rescue Team saved a woman from the Lomond Hills last Saturday evening.

She had been walking along with her brother when she sustained "painful ankle injury"

Volunteers from the team were dispatched and provided care for the casualty and her brother, who had been with her.

She was then taken down the hill and later treated by paramedics.

A spokesperson for the OMRT said: "The team managed to locate her and her brother, get them into a bivy shelter, warmed up and leg splinted before the rest of the troops arrived with the Landrover.

"She was evacuated to a waiting ambulance. Thanks to Police Scotland and Scottish Ambulance Service. We wish her a speedy recovery."
