Thanks for the reaction video! Fascinating to watch my video through someone else's eyes! Yeh, the "Devil's Pulpit" is the sandstone mound. It was used by ancient druids for offerings and so the early Christian's re-named it "Devil's Pulpit" in an attempt to dismiss the older religion as being darker and more sinister (and convince people to convert!)

That's a pretty place. I'd love to explore Scotland one day.

I haven't been to this little gorge, of which there are many in the Highlands of Scotland. If it's near Loch Lomond, it will be more easily accessible to tourists, and people will have tried to enable visitors to get into the gorge; these gorges are often extremely difficult to get into. Loch Lomond (brigidsingleton1596 is right about the pronunciation) is still extremely beautiful, and it is the largest lake in surface area on the island of Great Britain.

I Googled the 'Devil's Pulpit' - out of interest as much to the red sandstone, as anything (I like geological topics) rather than as a straight out desire to visit the site (as am disabled and use a wheelchair pushed by my -adult- daughter, so all my learning re sites of interest are sated on the whole by watching videos) ...and 'Google' said that particular site has a rating of "Moderate Difficulty" re access, "with steep and sometimes slippery rocks underfoot." ...making it absolutely unsuited to my own poor mobility, but beautiful nevertheless, and so I'm grateful to both pi1872 and of course to John McKenna for sharing their videos for people like me to enjoy "from a distance" so to speak.🙂🏴🇨🇦🏴❤️🇬🇧😏🖖

Interesting place, if i remember correctly this place was featured in one of the early Highlander epidodes, where Dougal tested Clare, to find out if she was a witch, apparently witches drinking here get their throats burned out, I've no ides if that was a real belief back in the day, or just something made up for the show.

The trees make the shots more interesting, in my opinion.

This is literally a 10 mile walk from my house and I've never been there because it's meant to be really slippy and dangerous to visit if you're on your own. I also don't drive which doesn't help matters. The one day a friend agreed to go with me we couldn't get parked up so we went somewhere else instead! The people I know who've managed down there say pictures don't do it justice. And it's Loch Lomond (low-mond, in fact it almost sounds like low-mund) and Glasgow (Glaz-go). And I think you're referring to Island I Vow, and the moon being MacFarlane's Lantern - the MacFarlane clan were infamous sheep rustlers and stole sheep with the help of the full moon. I know this because I'm a MacFarlane, so if you're one too then hi distant cousin! My mum's clan, the Buchanans, are from the opposite side of the loch and their lands historically included the Devil's Pulpit as well as the village I live in. Most of the rivers and streams in this area are red in colour as there's a lot of red sandstone rock here. Many of the older buildings are constructed from red sandstone.

_Loch Lomond_ is pronounced: 'Lock _Low_mund' (emphasis on the _first_ syllable, _not_ the second) and _Glasgow_ is pronounced: 'Glasgo' (ditto re _first_ syllable, _not_ second)... However... You have 'Pulpit' right.. 🙂
