Support us

Scottish mountain rescue teams receive grants from Scottish Government and Police Scotland. Torridon MRT has also benefitted massively from the benevolence of St John Scotland. But, to a considerable extent, we depend on the generosity of the donations we receive from the public which account for around half of our income. Quite simply mountain rescue in Scotland could not function effectively without your support.

Donations can be made:

  • On-line at www.justgiving.com/tkmountainrescue
  • By posting a cheque to
    Alasdair Jackson, Treasurer TMRT, 2 Cradlehall Farm Drive, Cradlehall, Inverness, IV2 5GQ (email: treasurer[at]torridonmrt.org.uk)

If you would prefer to make a payment directly to our bank account from within the UK or from another country please contact the Treasurer for details of our bank account.

Another way of supporting the team is by a bequest or legacy in your will. Always take legal advice before making or amending your will. Please contact us, or ask your solicitor to contact us, for any information about Torridon Mountain Rescue Team which you need to set up a bequest or legacy.

You can also help by spreading the word to your friends, perhaps giving them one of the links to our Facebook page and our on-line giving site.

When you shop at Amazon Smile, Amazon will make a donation automatically to us. Start your shopping by clicking here and searching for Torridon MRT!

Often we receive donations from folk who have been rescued. We are particularly grateful to a very brave young woman, Emily Woodroofe. who required a lower leg amputation following an accident in March, 2016. Emily has raised over £5,000 for Torridon MRT.

WHEN WINTER ARRIVED!January team training coincided with some of the most snow seen down to the village for several years. Once we had dug out the car park and the front door of the base, we headed through beautiful snowy pinewoods to the lower slopes of Beinn Damh to practice a range of winter skills. We explored avalanche hazard and avoidance, transceiver use and building/testing snow anchors. Can you count how many team members we managed to support with a large snow bollard on questionable snow?!Our patch is currently in full winter condition, with the associated potential hazards that come with that. Make sure you have the winter kit required for where you're going, know how to use it, and have checked the @scottishavalancheservice forecast as a minimum before heading out.Get out there and enjoy these stunning landscapes in their winter coat, but do so safely.@scottishmountainrescue #BeAvalancheAware#torridon #mountainrescue #winterrigging #nc500 ...

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, WHEN... CALLOUT!On Christmas Eve at around 5pm, the team was called out to assist with a lost walker west of Beinn Alligin. With an initial team deployed and a larger search team on standby, we located the walker and guided them back to safety — not returning to base until midnight.A special shoutout to Deputy Leader Paul, who, in addition to leading the operation, was celebrating his birthday. 🎉 While most were enjoying the festivities, Paul spent the evening coordinating the call and even had a birthday curry at base (and a *non alcoholic* cold beverage)! A reminder to make good decisions in the hills over the festive period, carry the kit you need to stay safe, and crucially know how to use it - especially when it comes to navigation.Our team is almost entirely reliant on public donations to operate. Please consider making a Christmas donation at the link in our bio.@scottishmountainrescue#torridon #Christmas #mountainrescue #christmaseve ... See MoreSee Less
