No price is listed. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The short gorge, which is nearly vertical and 70ft (21m) deep in places, was carved by melting glacial ice more than 10,000 years ago, and the remaining Carnock Burn passes through red sandstone, giving the water a distinctive red colour. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The dramatic landscape has long attracted visitors, at times leading to concerns about parking and there have been accidents, including at least one fatality, in the gorge itself in recent years. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Numerous films and TV dramas have used it as a location including the Netflix film King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, The Eagle, Detective Pikachu, Sherlock Holmes, The Nest and Taggart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But its popularity soared after it was used as the fictional &#8220;Liar&#8217;s Spring&#8221; or &#8220;St Ninian&#8217;s Spring&#8221; in Outlander, the hit series about a World War Two nurse who travels back in time to 18th Century Scotland. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Scottish beauty spot that featured in the Outlander series and attracts thousands of visitors every year has&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":737076,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-737075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=737075"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737075\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/737076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=737075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=737075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=737075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
