Graham Sibbald are delighted to be selling a spectacular development site for sale. The Devil's Pulpit is a natural phenomenon that is a 90 to 100 ft deep narrow gorge carved out of red sandstone by glaciers. At the very bottom of the gorge is a small flat-topped rock formation (the pulpit). The river waters that run through the gorge are said to run red with blood (because of the red sandstone bedrock). The gorge itself is located to the southwest of Killearn, an affluent village to the north of Glasgow. The site for sale is only some 30 mins drive from the centre of Glasgow City. The proximity of the land for sale to the very busy A809 and the A81 means the site is very well provided for communications. The site is only some 1.5 miles from the southern boundary of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. The Devils Pulpit has been made famous because of its use in several Holywood productions such as The Eagle, Detective Pickachu, Guy Ritchie's King Arthur and the TV series such as Taggart; Neil Oliver's Ancient Britain; a Sherlock Holmes; and Outlander. The use of the gorge means the site for sale is on the film and TV itinerary for international and national tourists who want to experience these film and TV locations, otherwise knowns as "Set-Jetting". The development scheme for sale has taken this into account, and the bridges across the gorge will not affect future productions and may make the lighting of the set easier for the film crews. The gorge, unfortunately, is currently a potential safety hazard as people are not careful near the edges of the gorge, and there have been a few rescues. There is, therefore, a considerable amount of safety railings and improvements to access included in the development. We understand that this is one of the key drivers behind the consent being approved.
