Extreme weather: Rockfall on Cairngorms path

A popular footpath in the Cairngorms has been left in an unstable condition after torrential rain.

Slabs from the cliffs in Coire an t-Sneachda fell onto the Goat Track.

The Mountaineering Council of Scotland said that path builders working in the area found the rockfall this morning.

Initial examinations showed that the area is dangerous.

Cairngorm rangers and the Cairngorms Outdoor Access Trust is now discussing what to do next.

Walkers and climbers are being asked to avoid the area.
