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.
How We Are Funded
The vast majority of our funding is raised through donations.

Recent Callouts
Last night the team were out for our December training exercise around Beinn Nuis which involved a couple of mock Callouts 🏔️☃️🔦
The first scenario was a search over open ground for a runner who had become lost in decent.
They were found, treated for injuries and hypothermia before being stretchered to a suitable evacuation point.
We then had two walkers cragfast higher on Beinn Nuis who were located before rope systems were set up to raise them to safety.

The team were called out at approximately 1620hrs on Wednesday afternoon to assist a gentleman who was suffering from exhaustion and the effects of the cold low down on the Goatfell path.
He was transferred back to our base for treatment and then passed over to Ambulance service.

A few of the team were out at approximately 1800hrs last night to assist two walkers who were lost with no torches on Goatfell.
Their location was obtained from phonefind and they were advised to stay where they were while a couple of the team made their way to them and assisted them back down safely off the hill.
The team would like to advise that at this time of year especially, packing a fully charged head torch with spare batteries is always a good plan as daylight hours are now limited 🔦

Glad they got down safely 🙏 wouldn't want to be up there with no torch, scary..
Hopefully people will heed your advice !

Well done all. Cannot believe people go up there without the right equipment!
Well done,more lives risked to save idiots. If you are called out because of people not carrying the basic equipment or just stupidity on their part they should face some fincial penalty such as the cost of the call out,maybe then some people would think twice before setting out.
Like flip flops!

Christ! The level of stupidity that exists is actually mind boggling! Well done team, you guys deserve so much better!
The team had their first training day of the season yesterday which involved practicing personal hill skills around Mullach Buidhe and Beinn Bharrain.
This consisted of a bit of navigation practice, some radio work, steep ground/scrambling skills and a bit of abseiling.
A great day ⛰️
