A child has been flown to hospital after being injured in a fall at a popular tourist spot in Perthshire.

The alarm was raised on Wednesday morning at The Hermitage in Dunkeld - an area of woodland with the River Braan, streams and waterfalls.

The child, understood to be seven years old, fell a distance of about 5m (16ft).

Volunteers from Tayside Mountain Rescue Team went to their aid and handed them into the care of an air ambulance crew.

The condition of the child in hospital is not known.
