Ben Hope

Sunday, 21 December 2025

Two walkers were rescued from Ben Hope in Sutherland after losing the path during their descent in darkness. The couple, who were well-equipped and less than 1 km from the car park, called for help and remained in place until Assynt Mountain Rescue Team located them and returned them safely to their vehicle.

Outcome: walkers returned safely to car park uninjured
