A woman remains in a serious condition in hospital after falling 150ft down the side of a cliff on the Isle of Skye.
The incident happened just before 3.30pm on Thursday afternoon, when a woman fell from a coastal path around 1.5 miles north of Elgol, in the south of Skye.
A multi-agency response was dispatched to the scene, which proved difficult to traverse due to the high cliffs.
Coastguard rescue teams from Kyle, Dunvegan and Portree attended alongside Mallaig lifeboat, Skye Mountain Rescue Team, police and the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS).
The female casualty was airlifted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow.
Police confirmed the female casualty remains in a “serious condition.”
Rescue operations hampered by remote location
Due to the location, the medical helicopter was unable to land close to the scene so the female casualty was first stretchered onto Mallaig lifeboat before being brought to shore at Elgol pier.
She was then placed into the care of the SAS who took her to the village of Broadford.
A coastguard spokesman confirmed the casualty was transferred onto the helicopter before being airlifted to hospital for further treatment.
A police spokeswoman said: “Around 3.35pm on Thursday, July 20, we received a report that a woman had fallen from a cliff in the Elgol area of the Isle of Skye.
“Emergency services, including mountain rescue teams and HM Coastguard, attended.
“The 50-year-old was taken by air ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, where she remains in a serious condition.”
