Looking across the Electric Brae
At this point, the road on the right hand side is lower than the left! It was believed that electric or magnetic attraction within the brae caused this illusion.

Not Going Up
On the Electric Brae, there’s a slope of 1 in 86 falling from the bend in the road to the west towards Craigencroy Glen to the east. The configuration of the land on both sides of the road make it look like the slope goes the other way. The cyclist in this shot free-wheeled uphill.
