  • A teenager has been seriously injured in a fall at Goat Quarry

A local teenager was rushed to hospital in a critical condition after he fell around 25 feet while climbing at Goat Quarry near Aberdour.

The 16-year-old boy was camping with friends at the disused quarry, when the incident happened shortly before 10pm on Friday.

The teenager sustained a serious head injury and an injury to his spleen.

The alarm was raised by the teenager's friends, and Fife Constabulary, the Scottish Ambulance Service and Fife Fire and Rescue Service all raced to the scene.
