A dog has been rescued after tumbling into a ravine while chasing a flock of sheep.

Gel fell into the Cruachan Gorge near Oban in Argyll on Tuesday and landed on a ledge high above a burn.

Oban Mountain Rescue was dispatched and one of the team was lowered into the crevasse by rope.

"Despite being an experienced hill-goer, Gel had fallen in whilst over-exuberantly rounding up sheep," a spokesman for the team said.

"Our best dog whisperer was deployed on a rope and casualty and rescuer hoisted back up successfully - without the casualty biting the rescuer.

"After assessment by a medic and some stick-throwing Gel was keen to get back to rounding up the flock and team stood down."
