Mountain rescue teams are searching the Cairngorms for an injured climber who has fallen.

The teams said they have requested a helicopter and have been deployed to the northern part of the mountain range at around 4pm on Wednesday.

The Caringorms Mountain Rescue Team tweeted: "CMRT responding to reports of a fallen climber in Northern Cairngorms.

"We have requested Aircraft support. Updates to follow."

Earlier this week another climber was rescued after he was injured in a fall on the plateau.

The Cairngorm MRT located the missing climber after the incident was reported at around 2.30pm on Sunday.
