Braemar Mountain Rescue Association

About

Based in Braemar and Ballater and providing a mountain rescue response to the Southern Cairngorms, Glenshee, Lochnagar and Deeside areas. The team attends in excess of forty incidents each year. As well as our involvement in mountain rescue work, which is now in the hands of a well-trained and well equipped team of almost 40 volunteers, the Association is involved in training, fund-raising and looking after our equipment, bases and vehicles. We also provide assistance to Police Scotland in the search for missing persons. Winter is the busiest time for our team. We work closely with the UK Search and Rescue helicopter service and the Scottish Avalanche Information Service as part of our training and on callouts.
