Posted by Bob on June 27, 2006, 10:13 pm, in reply to "Annual hill deaths in Scotland" Unfortunately the Mountain Rescue Committee of Scotland has recently not been supplying the annual analysis of accidents that the SMC has published in its Journal for decades. But on the basis of earlier returns, 20-25 would be a modest estimate of the annual number of fatalities. 10-15 years ago the figure was regularly over 40. However those figures for "hill deaths" need to be treated with caution, since they include (for instance) a fair proportion - regularly about a quarter - partly or wholly due to coronaries and other prior medical conditions, rather than to accidental causes. And so on.

In a word, yes.
