What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Pulpit Rock as Preaching Site (early 19th Century) - (late 19th Century) (1825)-(1895). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Pulpit Rock is associated with local traditions of outdoor preaching during the 19th century, particularly by dissenting religious groups in rural Scotland. The site's name and form suggest it was used as a natural platform for sermons, reflecting the strong influence of revivalist movements in the period.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
