Welcome

Galloway Mountain Rescue Team: Homepage

Galloway Mountain Rescue provides a 24/7 search and rescue service from our recently opened base in Newton Stewart. We are a team of unpaid volunteers from across the South of Scotland who are on call to assist injured or lost walkers, climbers and other visitors to the western communities of Dumfries and Galloway. Since we formed in 1975, we have responded to over 420 incidents and this website provides an insight into the people involved. Find out about our recent call-outs, training and ongoing fund raising efforts and learn how we ensure we are professionally trained and equipped to deal with a diverse range of incidents. We are a Scottish registered charity (SCO20065) and rely upon the generosity of the public, local businesses and other organisations to finance the maintenance of our equipment and support our regular training programme. Thank you for your interest and we hope you enjoy your visit.
