Mountain rescuers were called out once again to the Devil’s Pulpit at Finnich Glen on Sunday.
The Lomond Mountain Rescue Team used a specialist rope team to extract a man and two children, with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Scottish Ambulance Service also called out.
In August the team appealed for visitors to beware of the hazards of the spectacular natural feature, made famous as a location for hit TV series Outlander.
The rescue team has now been called to five emergencies in the area recently, having to extract cold, wet and trapped visitors by raising them vertically up the mossy, wet walls by rope – the steep sides of the gorge mean it is often impossible to call for help by mobile phone
