Busy weekend for Tayside Mountain Rescue Team after injured mountain biker drama

Tayside Mountain Rescue Team saved a mountain-biker after a nasty fall at the weekend.

The team of volunteers helped recover the cyclist who was badly injured on a trail at Birnam Hill, near Dunkeld.

They located the man - who had suffered a nasty leg break - packaged him up and evacuated him to a nearby ambulance on Saturday.

Following the drama, team members then took part in cliff rescue training at Bennybeg Quarry, near Crieff and Ley Quarry in Perthshire. (Tayside MRT.)
