Rising numbers of people are being rescued from the Devil's Pulpit gorge following its appearance on TV's Outlander.

Lomond Mountain Rescue Team has retrieved people from the 70ft ravine near Loch Lomond four times since May.

They say the number of people visiting the beauty spot has increased since it appeared in a series of TV shows and movies.

"Exceptionally well hidden, the edges of the gorge are vertical, dropping nearly 70ft into the river," a spokesman for Lomond MRT warned.

"At the narrowest point you can touch both its walls. There are very few points where it is safe - or indeed possible - to climb out."

Members of Lomond MRT were forced to abseil into the gorge to rescue a woman who got into difficulty in May.

"There is no mobile reception in the depths of the Finnich Glen," they added.

"Calling for help is impossible unless there is somebody above to assist."

The name Devil's Pulpit was originally used to describe a circular stone within the gorge.

Ancients druids reportedly congregated there and Satan supposedly preached from the rock.
