A walker has died after falling on a Munro, mountain rescuers have said.
Killin Mountain Rescue Team (MRT) were called to the scene on Ben More, near Crianlarich, on Saturday afternoon.
A coastguard rescue helicopter also went to the scene and helped transport team members and equipment as far up the hill as they could given the weather conditions and cloud level.

Mountain rescuers located the casualty and began administering immediate first aid for “serious injuries”, however the person was pronounced dead.
Killin MRT said: “Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of our members on scene, the casualty sadly was pronounced dead on the hill. The team thereafter evacuated the casualty off the hill.
“Our thoughts are very much with the family and friends of the individual, and we offer them our sincerest condolences.
“Equally, our thoughts are with the team members who were involved and assisted with this tragic incident.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
