Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team and Coastguard Helicopter Rescue on Ben Nevis

Lodged by Jamie Halcro Johnston Standard Motion 35 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes the successful rescue of two cragfast climbers on Ben Nevis, on 14 March 2023, by the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team and the Inverness-based Coastguard helicopter; further notes that this was carried out in the dark and has been reported to have been a particularly challenging rescue, requiring great skill by both the mountain rescue team and the helicopter crew; recognises that each year sees many such rescues where local mountain rescue teams and coastguard helicopter crews work together to save lives on Scotland’s mountains, and strongly commends the skill and dedication of Scotland’s volunteer mountain rescue teams and the search and rescue helicopter crews for their role in saving lives.
