TWO hillwalkers were assisted by the Ochils Mountain Rescue Team after getting into difficulty near Tillicoultry.
Members of the OMRT were called out by Police Scotland to locate two walkers on steep ground above the town on Saturday, July 13.
The team located the walkers, who were both unharmed, and assisted them back to the path and down off the hill.
This was the team’s second callout of the weekend, with OMRT members deployed to support Police Scotland and SMR colleagues.
The OMRT would like to remind everyone that should they get into difficulty on the hill or in wild spaces, they are urged to call 999 and then ask for mountain rescue.
