He suffered multiple injuries following the fall.
A Glasgow man was taking pictures of the scenery after ascending on a hill at a popular tourist attraction before slipping and plunging down.
The injured Glaswegian sustained multiple injuries and was put onto a Rescue 199 helicopter and flown to the major trauma centre at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. He said: “He was swept along the burn, then over the smaller waterfall, and was then swept further along the burn.” Mr Coles added: “Given the complex terrain, the local Scottish Fire and Rescue Service was also asked to respond in order to help Moffat MMRT place the team’s specialist bridge and assist in the extraction of the casualty if the helicopter teams were unable to do so.
