A women had to be rescued after she fell 65 feet (20m) down a gully on the Sannox side of the Witches Step, writes Colin Smeeton.

Members of Arran Mountain Rescue Team were called out just after 4.15pm last Thursday and made their way up to the area in Argo cats from North Glen Sannox.

After finding the casualty, who was thankfully uninjured, she was warmed up and a rope system was set up to recover her.
