About this audio guide
This guide to the Pentland Hills Regional Park headquarters in Edinburgh opens on a puzzle from the 1780s: how does a man serve sorbet at a summer party with no fridges and no water mains? It follows Charles Gordon of Cluny, the Edinburgh lawyer who bought this glen, and the hidden devices around his castellated house, including a barred doorway across the stream. A Nobel Prize winning physicist turns up later on. Best heard standing by the house, looking down toward the burn.
