'Very pleased'
About 30 mountain rescuers, plus a helicopter from RAF Lossiemouth, had been out looking for the pensioner before they were all stood down at about 0300 BST on Monday.
Roger Clare from Tayside Civilian Mountain Rescue told the BBC Scotland news website that she was lucky to be alive.
He said: "It would have been pretty uncomfortable. It would have been pretty windy on the mountain and it was cloudy on the top, so it was quite wet as well, quite drizzly.
"I think she must have made her way down quite low by that stage, she certainly wasn't on the top of the mountain while we were there.
"We're very pleased - given her age and the conditions last night, we feared the worst.
"So it's fantastic to know she just walked into a doctor's this morning."
