Our drone operators have been assisting Police Scotland as part of a multi-agency search for a missing person.
Our drone was deployed to search some awkward stretches of coastline, helping search challenging terrain.
Our thoughts remain with everyone affected by this incident.
We were joined by Arrochar Mountain Rescue Team, as we headed into the Coire Nuis area to practise our skills and share ideas.
