Dramatic photos released show a coast guard helicopter airlifting an injured climber from a hillside in North Berwick after a "night on the town".
The incident took place at around 1:45am in the early hours of this morning (April 13) after three men had fallen and become stuck on North Berwick Law.
The rescue operation saw a multi-agency response; from North Berwick Coastguard work, Mountain Rescue, East Lothian Police, the Scottish Ambulance Service and Scottish Fire and Rescue.
Dunbar Coastguard reports several fire appliances were on standby and ambulances were also in attendance, including their Special Operations Response Team.
Two BSRU members abseiled down to the casualties and secured the injured man.
A rope access fire crew then assisted with the airlift operation.
Two of the them were walked to safety with no injuries.
However a further man was airlifted to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, where he is being treated.
He was bleeding from the head and there were fears he could also have internal and spinal injuries.
They were all estimated to be in their early 20s.
Bob McKeand, BSRU team leader, said: "They were three lads out after a night out on the town.
"The information we have is they were out for a jaunt.
"One of them fell and got fairly seriously injured.
"There was certainly bleeding from the head. Possible other injuries, in terms of spinal and internal."
If you see someone in difficulty or something you are concerned about on the shoreline, beaches, cliffs, mud or water, you call 999 and ask for the coastguard.
