Thanks Orinoco, enjoyed this. Well worked theme, smooth surfaces and some interesting words among the solutions (including a wee Scottish reference, which always earns a bonus point!). Fave clues for me 9a, 16a, 1d, 18d, 23d. Like Sisyphus, I don't get Flame in 1a or ring in 26a. Also struggled with 14a, because I don't have any understanding of maths, but got there in the end with the help of your annotation. But minor quibbles only - good puzzle.
