Council bans parking at popular Outlander beauty spot the Devil’s Pulpit

A council has banned parking near a remote beauty spot after visitor numbers soared following lockdown easing.

Stirling Council said it painted double yellow lines on the roads around Devil’s Pulpit near Killearn to protect public safety.

The gorge has featured in TV series Outlander and in the film King Arthur: Legend of the Sword starring Charlie Hunnam.

Parking has now been restricted on three miles of roads in the area including the A809.

Jim Thomson, SNP member for Stirling North and the council’s environment convener, said: “People have been showing no regard to their safety or that of others. This must stop.

“I would urge visitors to the area to comply with the parking restrictions. If they don’t, enforcement action will be taken.”
