I've been on it loads...my Grandpa used to take us to it when we visited, as it wasn't too far from my grandparents home. It's a cool and funny thing, esp. if you're a kid, as you truly think you're free wheeling up a hill.
We've got at least two of them here in the Isle of Man. It's all to do with the surrounding hills which make the road/hill you are on look as if they are go up instead of downhill and vice versa. Ours are called magnetic hills and they're really great things to experience!
yes i was on it when i was a boy, bus stopped and we poked our heads out the window, and the bus rolled back up the hill, coolest thing! i thought it was near a place called paisley, guess i was mistaken?
Its known locally as 'The Electric Brae' and is in south Ayrshire near Culzean Castle. I visited the place once and to be honest I could not really see the optical illusion at work. Just looked like a normal hill to me. I know about the place because my wife comes from the area.
HI rebajayne,its called the electric brae its located between maybol and maidens traveling south of ayr on the a77 girvin road,its well worth a visit to this land illusion agood giggle.
rebajayne,do you remember a while ago you said you had a copy of See No Evil: The Moors Murders.Is there any chance you could let me have it to send to my Sister in Australia? Many Thanks. I would be so grateful.
I would pay any expense that it costs you.
