TV fans will recognise its roaring waterfall as “St Ninian’s Spring” from the smash-hit drama Outlander.
The sandstone bedrock, which appears to run blood red due to the sediment in the water, means the gorge has been a popular set for television and film.
Hits such as Sherlock Holmes, Taggart, Pokemon Detective Pikachu and King Arthur have all used the stunning location.
After previously being put on the market in 2023, the spectacular Devil’s Pulpit has gone up for sale again, but without a clear asking price.

However, potential buyers will be pleased to learn that there is approved planning permission for a brand-new visitor centre.
It will be complete with a cafe, restaurant, event space, and dedicated car park.
The upgrades are expected to increase visitor numbers to more than 300,000 a year.
Commercial estate agents Christie & Co are handling the sale on an “offers invited” basis.
The current owners said: “We feel that we have reached a stage in life where new owners would be able to take forward our vision for the Glen and develop this opportunity in a way that is compatible with this unique property.
“The Glen requires management to preserve and protect its environment, but whoever purchases Finnich Glen, taking it to the next phase, has the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of giants.”
Mark Lavery, director of retail and leisure at Christie & Co, said: “This opportunity will appeal to buyers who want to create a commercial business and unique visitor experience with national importance, against a stunning backdrop.
“Historically important, and already a tourist attraction with approved planning permission, the development opportunities are exciting, and we encourage interested parties to get in touch.”
