The Devil's Staircase

 from Beinn a Chrulaiste in Glencoe


The name was given by the soldiers

who were part of the road building program of General Wade.
 The carrying of building materials up this stretch of the road
 was not popular!
The name was perpetuated when some of the workers
building the Blackwater Dam
chose to travel to the nearest pub at the Kingshouse Inn
 after their wages had been paid
- the journey to the Kingshouse Hotel
proved more difficult than expected
and the return journey even worse on unsteady legs
- on a cold winter’s night,
the devil often ”claimed his own“.
