I was wondering if there were any options beyond drilling holes/attaching with bolts to secure it to the wall? The rock appears to be very hard and so I will have trouble drilling the holes, there is also electrical circuitry behind it which I am trying to steer well clear of and so I was wondering if there are other options?

And as per what Uncle Arfur said sandstone is a relatively soft rock.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant! I didn't know it was called a hammer drill in English (it is in Danish, but rarely does compound words in Danish translate directly into English).

The only way I think without drilling holes into the sandstone would be to secure a timber frame from the ceiling to the floor/bench and mount it onto the timber.
