Personal Injury & Cancellation Insurance

In Scotland, Mountain Rescue is a voluntary organisation and they’ll come out to help anyone in trouble, free of charge. Even if a helicopter is involved. The UK NHS (National Health Service) A&E (Accident & Emergency) will help anyone that’s admitted for emergency treatment but if you’re not a UK resident, you will be charged.

If you’re visiting from overseas, you’ll need adequate travel insurance (personal injury, repatriation etc) to cover yourself in the event of an accident. Make sure that your policy covers your for hiking / walking up to 1500m.

It may also be worth having cancellation insurance to cover any monies paid in the event that you cannot make a walk that you’ve booked.
