Arran Mountain Rescue Team is a charitable organization made up of men and women from all over the Island. Team members are all volunteers and give up their time freely when an emergency arises.
Arran Mountain Rescue Team
The team currently has 30 members with a variety of skills and experience amongst us. The team provides Search and Rescue assistance to walkers and climbers on the Isle of Arran which is located in the Firth of Clyde, off the West Coast of Scotland.
How the Team Assemble

A Wealth of Experience
All team members at Arran mountain Rescue are experienced hillwalkers or mountaineers with a vast amount of local knowledge between them.
Team members are on-call 365 days a year and are unpaid volunteers giving up their time to help people in need.

Recent Callouts
Callout 14/03/2023
The team were called out at approximately 1500hrs today to assist a hill runner who had fallen a significant distance from the North buttress of Stacach ridge, North of Goatfell, sustaining multiple injuries.
Thankfully the cloud lifted shortly after the call which allowed Rescue 199 to drop their winchman down to the casualty to start treatment before picking up several team members and dropping them on the ridge.
The winchman and team members packaged the casualty before he was winched on board Rescue 199 and flown to hospital.
Thank you to everyone for their help and we wish the casualty a speedy recovery.

Yesterday afternoon, volunteer rescuers searching for Kyle Sambrook found the bodies of a man and a dog in a deep gorge above the Fionn Ghleann.
An attempt was made to recover them by helicopter but was unsuccessful due to the terrain, the helicopter was then re-tasked meaning they had to be lowered and carried off the hill by hand.
GMR were joined by Tweed Valley MRT and Oban MRT in a long operation bringing the two down.
We would like to thank Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team Oban Mountain Rescue Team , Arran Mountain Rescue Team Search & Rescue Dog Association (Scotland) Tweed Valley Mountain Rescue Team , RAF Leeming MRT, Police Scotland MRT, HM Coastguard - Highland Rescue 151 and Rescue 199 for their invaluable help over the last 4 days.
Also thank you for the great response from the hill going public to the requests for information.
Our thoughts are with Kyle's family and friends at this time.

Well done to all involved. Not the outcome we all hoped for sadly. Condolences to the family 😥
Such a difficult job, carried out by the most amazing people. It must be exhilarating to rescue someone safe and well, but equally as devastating when the ending isn't as cheerful. Gratitude to all who do this x
Very sad news about this man and his dog. Respect to the rescue services who were able to bring him off the hill for his family
Well done all involved.. just a shame it ended the way it did .. condolences to Kyles Family 😔🙏🏼
So, so sad. I always choke when I see the appeals to look for these poor souls, for invariably the search ends in tragedy. Poor lad. 😢
Very sad ending but I know that you guys will have worked really hard.Much love to Kyles family 😥
