About this audio guide
This guide to Cathkin Braes, the high ground on Glasgow's southern edge, starts with a price tag and the single machine it bought in twenty thirteen. It follows where the steel came from, who built it, and why its timing was tied to the twenty fourteen Commonwealth Games mountain bike races. Best heard on the slope within earshot of the blades.
