Teenagers missing in Cairngorms | Teenagers missing in Cairngorms |
(about 4 hours later) | |
A search is continuing in the Cairngorms for four teenage girls who were reported overdue while taking part in a Duke of Edinburgh expedition. | |
They failed to arrive at a camp site near Loch Laggan on Friday night after hiking through the forests. | |
Two of the girls are aged 16, the other two are 18. BBC Scotland understands they are all pupils at Perth Academy. | |
A volunteer from the Duke of Edinburgh scheme said they were well equipped and they may have taken a wrong turn. | |
The search was hampered by poor weather overnight. | |
Members of the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team and an RAF mountain rescue team are looking for the girls in the area of Feagour near Kinloch Laggan. | |
Rescuers are tracing the route that the girls were due to follow in the hope of finding them. | |
An RAF spokesman said: "We have the route that they were going to follow so that is a very good start as we can cover each part of that and hopefully there will be an innocent explanation." |
