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
Initially, a call will be raised via Police Scotland, and if it is necessary a call-out will then be initiated. Team members are contacted and assemble at the team base, briefed on the nature of the incident, and then head out to the appropriate location(s).
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
The team were called out yesterday afternoon after a hill walker came across a female who had fallen a significant distance from Stacach ridge, suffering serious injuries.
Eight team members deployed in our Argo cats and quad and once on scene assisted the paramedic from Rescue 199 with treating and packaging the injured walker before she was winched on board Rescue 199 for onward transfer to hospital 🚁
We wish the casualty a speedy recovery and would like to thank the members of the public who phoned it in and were a great help before the team arrived on scene.

Hope the last has a speedy recovery. Well done to all involved.
The team have had a couple of Callout’s over the past week.
On Saturday a few of the team were out for a woman with a broken wrist on Goatfell.
She was treated for her injury and brought down off the hill in the Argo cat with the assistance of a couple of Arrochar MRT members who where staying at our base.
Last night was for a couple who were several hours overdue after attempting Goatfell.
They were quickly located with the assistance of the SAR helicopter from Prestwick, having taken much longer than planned and making very slow progress with no torches.
Thankfully they were located unharmed and team members returned them to our base to warm up.
The team would like to remind those venturing into the hills at this time of year that daylight hours are fading and packing a fully charged head torch and spare batteries in your rucksack is always a good idea just incase.

Well done guys ..
Thank goodness you guys found them. Fantastic job
What a fantastic job these people do
Well said and pointed out. So many people do not respect our mountains and how the weather charges, thinking it is a Sunday afternoon stroll to top of Goat Fell. As ex MR team member, well done .
Hum - brings back humiliating memories….. 😬
A big thank you to the Arran Mountain Festival for organising and to Kenton Cool for delivering to a capacity audience, the incredible talk “The Everest Untold Story” last night.
An awe inspiring insight into the history of Everest and why Kenton continues to be drawn to this incredible place🏔️
The Arran Mountain Festival has always helped to support the AMRT and continues to put on not only an excellent long weekend of mountain walks every year but excellent events like this one last night which was aimed to raise funds for those looking to do their summer mountain leader award for future walk leaders.
Thanks again to all involved!
