A visitor has been rescued from a popular beauty spot which had been closed to the public until a few days ago. 

Emergency services were called out to Finnich Glen, better known as the Devil's Pulpit, after a man, 24, slipped down an embankment. 

Police, ambulances, fire services and a mountain rescue team attended the incident around 5.40pm on Saturday. 

The 24-year-old rescued had no serious injuries. 

Stirling Council temporarily closed the area after an influx of day-trippers led to concerns for public safety.

The area was reopened on July 1, however provisions on parking in the surrounding area remain in place. 

An emergency 'no waiting' restriction was placed on surrounding roads to keep the area clear of parked cars and will remain in place until July 16.

It comes as the five-mile travel restrictions were lifted on Friday, but the public is still being encouraged to stay within their local area.

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "We received a report of concern for a person who had slipped down an embankment at Finnich Glen, Stirling, around 5.40pm on Saturday, July 4, 2020.

"Officers attended alongside a mountain rescue team, the fire service and ambulance service. A 24-year-old man was rescued. He had no serious injuries."

A statement from the Lomond Mountain Rescue Team reads: "The team extracted a visitor who was trapped in the Devil’s Pulpit this evening.

"All resolved quickly with no injuries."
