Explorer Tom Queen’s College in Cambridge is listed in Dumfries and Galloway, which makes me think the archive clerk was having a very bad day and needed a nap. Local legend says a giant lives in the basement but he only comes out to borrow sugar from the students living upstairs. Best visited with a curious kid and absolutely no timetable because that’s when the weirdness starts happening.
