Hidden away, North West of Glasgow, on the road to Loch Lomond lies a 100ft deep gorge called The Devil's Pulpit (also known as Finnich Glen). The name The Devil's Pulpit comes from the rock formation shown in the photograph above, which looks a bit like a church pulpit, especially when lit by a shaft of sunlight like it was the day I visited.

It's not signposted, so can be a bit tricky to find. I parked on a grassy triangle at a junction just down the road, then walked about five minutes until I came to a hole in the wall just passed the bridge. From there, it's an easy trek through the woods along the river to a very steep staircase down to the gorge below.

These photographs were taken with my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and the extraordinary Canon EF 35mm f/1.4 II.

About the photographer

I'm Alex Nichol. I'm an amateur photographer from the North of England. For me, photography is a way to share what I love most about the world. That includes everything, from family and friends, to wild animals and breathtaking places... or maybe just how the sun twinkles on a weed in my back garden. It's all fair game.
