A 69-year-old climber has been rescued by helicopter after collapsing half way up Ben Nevis.
The woman was winched aboard the Royal Navy rescue helicopter from Prestwick and taken to a waiting ambulance at the foot of the mountain.
The alarm was raised by a passer-by and the woman was taken to the Belford Hospital in Fort William.
A spokesman for the emergency services said the casualty's condition was not thought to be life-threatening.
