The video starts at the moment of going down with the camera in hand, it shows the difficulty of walking over the slippery ground and in some places, how narrow that way is. There used to be ropes to help you climb up and down but now, for some strange reason, they were taken away making it even more difficult as there is nothing to hold to.
"The gorge can be reached by means of a flight of steps which has been nicknamed Jacob's Ladder or, by association with the rock, the Devil's Staircase. That flight of steps was made between 150 and 200 years ago(*) at the behest of Mr Blackburn, the then proprietor of the Killearn estate."
Iain C Lees, in his 1933 book "The Campsies and the Land of Lennox", gives the following explanation for the name of the stone
"Down in the channel is the Devil's Pulpit, whither he was wont to go when he had anything of importance to say to those of his minions who lived in this area. A long flight of stairs leads to the channel, and when you are there you feel remote from the world. Only the moon is required to produce the most weird and awesome effect."

I was just going to make some corrections and make it shorter but, like never before, my software got frozen, all the project corrupted and vanished, I lost it so I will just leave it like it is.
