The Electric Brae
The Electric Brae is a short length of coastal road south of Ayr where, by an optical illusion, the road appears to be going downhill when its actually going uphill. Well I rode up and down it several times and I couldn't see it and you can tell uphill from downhill on a 250.

There's a similar place on the Isle of Man. Many years ago when I was over for the TT I rode up and down it to no effect. I even walked up and down it to see if that made any difference, and it didn't. Who makes this stuff up anyway?
ReplyDeleteThe electric Brae may well be an optical illusion, but blaming it on the lie of the land may be wrong. In my research into the ley lines of Scotland I have discovered that this stretch of road is in line with no less than FOUR volcanic plugs - Slemish in N. Ireland, Ai9lsa Craig, Edinburgh Castle, Calton Hill with the basalt outcrop of The Isle of May to the N.E. Such plugs have many ancient and important sacred sites placed between them.
