Two injured women were airlifted off Scotland’s highest mountain after suffering injuries within a few hundred feet of each other.
The two casualties were reported at around 3.15pm on Monday afternoon on the mountain path on Ben Nevis.
One woman had fallen and twisted her knee, while another 61-year-old had suffered a head injury.
Both were reached by members of the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team, who carried the casualties down to a point where they could be collected by the Inverness-based search helicopter Rescue 951.
A police spokeswoman confirmed that both women had been taken to Belford Hospital in Fort William, but neither was thought to have suffered serious injury.
