In the footage, a Coastguard worker can be seen abseiling down from the helicopter and helping the teenagers to safety.
David Wigginton, a North Berwick resident, whose kitchen window looks onto the Law, captured the footage, late last night and said that the rescue "proves how vital the Coastguard is, as no other emergency service was getting anywhere near them".
A Coastguard spokesperson, said: "The HM Coastguard search and rescue helicopter from Prestwick lifted to safety two males reported to be stuck on cliffs at North Berwick Law.
"The alarm was raised at about 8.35pm on October 7. Coastguard rescue teams from North Berwick, Dunbar and Fisherrow attended, as well as Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service."
