Safety warning issued to Cairngorms climbers

Climbers and walkers are to be urged by the Scottish government to take all precautions to help them stay safe while out in the hills.

Public Health and Sport Minister Shona Robinson will deliver the government's annual winter safety message later.

She is due to visit Glenmore Lodge near Aviemore where the Sportscotland Avalanche Information Service is based.

Ms Robinson is also due to meet the Mountaineering Council of Scotland's safety officer, Heather Morning.

Ms Morning features in a video uploaded by the council onto the YouTube website that gives a rundown of accident black spots in the hills.

In October, the Perth-based council encouraged walkers and climbers to go online to prepare themselves for winter conditions on Scotland's hills and mountains.

It said 10 out of 20 deaths in the mountains last year happened in winter.

The avalanche information service will start publishing reports and forecasts for North Cairngorms, South Cairngorms, Lochaber, Creag Meagaidh and Glencoe from 17 December.
