Did You Know?
True Location
While often referred to as 'The Devil's Pulpit,' its actual geographic name is Finnich Glen, a narrow gorge formed by the Finnich Water.
Folklore Connection
Local folklore suggests that the Devil himself would stand upon the rock and address his followers from this dramatic natural pulpit.
Filming Location
This mystical site gained significant popularity after being featured in the hit TV series 'Outlander' as St. Ninian's Spring, where characters Claire and Dougal drink from the 'truth-telling' waters.
Water's Hue
