Mountain Rescue

There are 25 mountain rescue groups across Scotland, from the Hebrides to Borders.  We're available for rescues 365 days a year, 24 hours a day!

Partnerships

We work closely with the HM Coastguard Search & Rescue (SAR) helicopters and police.

We also work with other agencies: the RAF, RNLI, ambulance service and cave rescue.

Training

As part of the team, we train every month throughout the year. We spend a full weekend in winter in the Cairngorms, often in harsh but real conditions.

Technical

We train at key sites, such as the Old Man of Stoer in Assynt. Many of us are keen climbers, but those that aren't will be trained in technical rope techniques.

Donating

We are a charity that relies on the generosity of the public and sponsors to fund us. The team fund-raises throughout the year. Please support us where you can. 

Volunteers

If you live in the Caithness & Sutherland area and enjoy the outdoors, have hill skills and are interested in helping others, Mountain Rescue may be for you.
