Police warn motorists after 'inconsiderate' parking at Devil's Pulpit delays rescue
Emergency services were called to the Devil's Pulpit near Killearn at about 1pm after a member of the public was hurt in a fall.
Police said emergency vehicles were hampered in their attempts to get through by cars parked in emergency lay-bys and by "inconsiderate" parking.

A Forth Valley Police Facebook post said: "If you are attending rural areas, please consider where you are parking your vehicle.
"Access roads/gates and emergency vehicle lay-bys are there in the event of an emergency and should not be used for parking."
Earlier this month Stirling Council approved controversial plans for a 150-space car park and visitor centre at the Devil's Pulpit.
It came shortly after the council painted double yellow lines on the roads around the area to "protect public safety".
