Three stranded wind farm workers have been rescued after getting trapped in snow.

Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team (CMRT) was sent out to help the workers at Glen Doe, near Fort Augustus, at around 2pm on Thursday afternoon.

The workers, who are based at a hydro-electric wind farm project in the glen, had become stranded after high winds and snow swept the area.

Efforts to recover the men were initially hampered as severe weather prevented the rescue helicopter assisting.

However, a helicopter eventually managed to fly to the scene and the men were airlifted to hospital around 6pm.

A CMRT spokesman said on Twitter: "Three stranded workers airlifted by Rescue 951 and transferred to Raigmore Hospital.

"CMRT thanks as ever to 951 for superb service."

As the rescue was ongoing, the team also responded to another incident on Cairngorm Plateau.

Two climbers who had become lost in tough conditions were found and brought to safety.
