Woman who went missing on Sutherland mountain found safe and well

A LONE walker who went missing on a mountain was today found safe and well, police said.

The woman went missing on mountains in Kyleski, Sutherland last night.

Police said she was found tired but uninjured after spending the night on the mountain.

A search was launched last night after she called police on her mobile phone to ask for help.

But she lost her mobile phone signal before she could tell officers where she was and they were unable to reconnect the call.

The woman was found this morning after a search by Northern Constabulary dog section, Assynt Mountain Rescue Team, RAF Kinloss Mountain Rescue Team and the Coastguard helicopter recommenced at 7am.
