Just popped in to wish you all a happy new year and to update you about our new flood rescue asset a 6 metre Dell Quay Dory Rescue Boat which is powered by a 50hp Yamaha outboard. The boat can take eight adults and equipped with advanced medical equipment including basket stretcher etc. This now brings our 'fleet' numbers upto three boats. Best wishes.

Hi, just wanted to say your site looks great. Im always hearing about the great work you guys are doing. Keep it up and keep safe. Also congratulations on the Daily Record article - good publicity, lets more people know about the work you do and the great service you guys are providing. Well done. x

Thanks for the help in searching for the missing fisherman today, a link has been added to our site pointing to you. Hope to work with you again in the future, and hope the link generates a few pennies for you

Hi Stuart and the team. We have now added the link to you on our website with more to come. Event went well. Hope yourside did too! catch up soon!
Gary, ERT SAR.

Just to say that I have really enjoyed working with you guys in past & hope to do so again. You're a great bunch, hard working dedicated & a bit mad (which always helps) Great Site keep up the good work

'Stumbled' across your site when checking the 'Wagg' dog food site for my Deerhound. I was surprised to read that TSART travels to far-distant 'Call Outs' and events.

I was an R.A.F. Desert and Mountain Rescue teams volunteer [Nicosia, Kinloss (twice), Leuchars, Khormaksar & Stafford]. 'Civvy' teams were appearing as I left ('horse-de-wombat') in 1970. The first I remember was the Glencoe team, led by a police sergeant I think, but with Hamish MacInnes involved as always. Perhaps Hamish was the first to train and use SAR dogs ("Rangi" and "Tiki"?) and they found the body of a Dundee Uni. professor ("Reid"?) circa 1960. Benny MacChesney and I were most-way up the Aonach Eagach when the 'two-star-red' was fired and we thankfully glissaded down wherever possible!

Now the Trossachs have a Team, who'd have thought it! Of course, the MoDfather's 'cut-backs' (Kai Tak, Masirah, Nicosia and some UK teams) has, fortunately, spurred some stalwart 'Civvies' and ex-Service personnel to take up the slack and follow others' examples. Thank God (not MoD-the-Father) for that!

I'm only fit for ex-Teams members' UK reunions these days. Leuchars' 'Doo' will be in St. Andrews (OCT 07), Kinloss' will be in Newtonmore (NOV 07) and Harpur Hill's + Stafford's in Hope (MAR 08). I'd like to meet with some of you new guys and see some of your 'space age kit' !

Yours aye,

"Boots".

Hi everyone,
I'm Gordon's niece and I would just like to say keep the good work up as I know how hard you all work. I'm very proud of everyone especially my unlcle. I think it is amazing what you all do. Keep up the hard work. The site is lookin gr8. luv Keri

Hi guys and girls, you all do a great job. I'm Gordon's bro and I'm very proud of him and all of you guys and girls, keep up the good work. Norman Gregory

On behalf of Caithness and Sutherland Search Team I would like to thank TSART for their part in today's major incident exercise in Caithness. Stuart, Joanne, Mitch and Gigha once again demonstrated the expertise and professionalism that has earned TSART the respect it deserves. 13 Casualties in an earthquake scenario, crashed planes, bodies in ponds, sheer drops, rubble piles 80 feet high plus. Nothing phased them or the CASST Teams. Visiting prospective MSP's, serving MP and other guests were blown away by the whole day. We hope their support will continue to promote the work of both CASST and TSART. Once again thanks guys and I know we are looking forward to our next joint venture already.

John Glen
Treasurer - Caithness and Sutherland Search Team

Congratulations with regard to your partnership to provide search dogs response with Strathclyde Fire & Rescue. Like you we at REACT UK have recently signed a partnership agreement which Tayside Police EPO Dept to provide flood rescue assistance (personnel and our boats) across the whole of Tayside. Keep up the good work and keep safe.

Hi guys, Thanks from all at the North Star Explorer Unit (Denny Scouts). You gave an excellent demo for the kids and kept them entertained. Thanks once again. Jonathan (AESL)

The training at St PETERS COLLEGE in CARDROSS at the weekend was excellent. I really enjoyed working with the SAINT ANDREWS AMBULANCE people. They were real pros, hard working and fun to work with. I would love to work with them again SOON

Great site, more pics of Stevie are needed!

Hiya my name is Laura Coe I am the events co-ordinator for Maritime Rescue Institute in stonehaven.
I am just putting a bit on here to say I am looking for to the Trossachs dog team coming to our harbour festival on the 23rd of July 2006.
The Harbour Festival is run every year in Stonehaven and all money proceeds go to MRI (Maritime Rescue Institute) SAR Team.
If you would like to see the Trossachs dogs then come along to the harbour festival

Nice site but need more pics of Stevie.

On behalf of REACT UK I would like to sincerely thank TSART for the donation of surplus medical rescue equipment. It is refreshing to receive co-operation from other rescue organisations and if we can be of any assistance please do not hesitate to contact us. THANKS Again

Excellent site. I must say that our team members had their faith restored over the joint weekend with TSART members, 7th to 9th April. We all learned a lot and felt that we are part of a bigger national picture. The socialising after training was excellent and I am pleased to say that Stuart does not need a note to say he is "excused singing". See you soon guys!

You're doing a great job folks, keep up the good work and keep safe. From REACT UK (www.reactuk.ik.com)

Remember me???... maybe you all remember Zach. Have a few new additions now. Nice to see you all doing well. Loved the web site. Keep up the good work. Best wishes for future.

Hi nice site

Regarding the (new) team bus, FANTASTIC! ok 200,000 miles but great potential, drives like a dream and will help in so many ways. Any kind hearted vehicle sprayers out there with a load of white paint?

I've just found your web-site after 4 years of knowing Stuart and the team! Looks really good. I'd like to thank you for the kind words and pictures concerning your escapades with MRI at Stonehaven. Likewise, it has been great working with you. The dogs have captured many hearts in the town and we look forward to more visits and scenarios in the future.

Hi. Glad some of you could make it to Lincolnshire 1st, 2nd and 3rd April. Great weekend, thoroughly enjoyed by us all. The training exercises went well, the dogs enjoyed themselves. Excellent entertainment although singing lessons are needed by most. Hope to send the pics soon.
Helen.

Hello Pat it was good to meet you at Loch Ordie recently supervising the youngsters doing their Duke of Edinburgh award weekend.
I appreciated your hints on using my walking stick properly, it certainly keeps the pressure off my back. Good luck in all your missions.

Hi Guys,
Good site keep up the good work
hope to meet sometime
Cheers

A BIG THANK YOU from myself, the sponsor, runners and marshalls for your support in this year's West Highland Way Race. Without your vital contribution we would not have had our most successful year ever. All your team were fantastic and we look forward to many more successful years together. Your one failing was not providing protection from the Midges! Thank you again.

Hi you lot, well, what a lovely website, it's done you all proud. Keep up the good work eh! and thanks Stu and Joanne for keeping in touch with me, it means a lot to me. I really loved meeting you all and working with you, let's hope we meet again soon. My very best wishes for you all in the future, love Sue. x

Hi everyone, Thank you for "rescuing" Mirk and Gael from the pontoon at the Greenock Fire and Water Festival today. We were getting really worried as to how on earth we would be able to get them from the boat up to the quayside - I know some dogs can climb ladders but these dogs most certainly don't.

Thanks again - all the very best

Great site, hope to meet sometime.

Hi Guys,

Just a quick visit to you site to say hello and to see what you have been up to in the last month.

Thanks to a great organisation who did a great job in aiding the 2002 running of the West Highland Way Race. These volunteers will be a major part of this year's event, ensuring the safety of around 100 runners for over 24 hours. The runners feel their lives could not be in better hands.

Welcome to the guestbook, please leave a message and we'll check it prior to placing it on the website - we used to just allow posts to be submitted directly but one or two rude submissions forced this change. Thanks.
