Poor visibility stops a helicopter from reaching the casualty stuck in the Southern Uplands.
An injured walker has been rescued from near a summit in the Southern Uplands.
Tweed Valley Mountain Rescue Team and Moffat Mountain Rescue Team were called out to the incident at Culter Fell near Biggar on Tuesday. A rescue helicopter was also sent to the scene at about 13:00 but cloud cover stopped it reaching the location. The injured walker - who had suffered a broken ankle - was stretchered off the hill and then taken to a waiting ambulance by road.
