The history behind Outlander beauty spots Finnich Glen and the Devil's Pulpit

It's the ethereal Scottish glen that has appeared in Outlander season one as the 'Liar's Spring'. Now, thanks to its starring role, it attracts up to 70,000 visitors a year.

With its moss green walls and blood-red waters, Finnich Glen is an otherwordly location that is hidden away on farmland in Stirling. Despite the fact it doesn't have its own visitor centre and can be hard to find, Outlander fans still flock to see where the famous scene with Dougal MacKenzie (Graham McTavish) and Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) was filmed.

Home to the ominously named Devil’s Pulpit, the dramatic natural gorge with vertical drops and slippery entrance steps has a spooky history of druidic rituals and sheltering covenanters in their wars with the royalist troops.
