Skye Trail, Isle of Skye
The rescue team assisted 20 people across multiple separate incidents on the Skye Trail on 7 August 2026 during poor weather conditions. The team used the callouts to highlight concerns about how the route is understood and promoted, noting that people may underestimate the terrain's seriousness and become over-reliant on electronic navigation without adequate map and compass skills.
Outcome: 20 people assisted by the rescue team across separate incidents
