The story of creepy Devil's Pulpit rock and 'blood-red' river that featured in Outlander

One of Scotland's most unsettling natural sights is found between Glasgow and Loch Lomond, and its reputation is just as sinister as its name.

The Devil's Pulpit is an unusually shaped rock within the steep Finnich Glen. It can only be accessed by trekking down the slippery gorge—often called the Devil’s Steps—and is not recommended for solo or unprepared explorers.

When you reach the bottom, you will be surprised to see that the river flows blood-red. While this is due to the sandstone beneath the water, it certainly gives the gorge an ominous aura.
