A man discovered freezing cold and exhausted in the Cairngorms is lucky to be alive, according to rescuers.

He was found on Monday morning in the Loch Avon area by a couple out walking and was helped to a shelter where they stayed overnight.

As there was no phone signal it wasn't until yesterday that the alarm could be raised after the couple had walked to Braemar. The walker's ordeal finally ended this morning.
