Tor of CraigochFort (prehistoric) · 8 yd

Explorer Tom Tor of Craigoch in Dumfries and Galloway would survive a zombie attack by standing still and looking like a prehistoric fort, which is basically its whole personality. It’s got that 'I’m defensible' vibe, but really it’s just a pile of stones with attitude. The map says it’s accurate to the meter, so don’t get too comfortable if you’re planning on hiding. Practise your Irish on it, it won't fix it

High Kirkland HillMountain / peak · 325 ydKirklandSocketed Axehead (bronze) · 729 yd

Explorer Tom Kirkland in Dumfries and Galloway is just a bronze axehead with no dates, which is basically a tool that never learned to punch its time card. I reckon it hates tourists because they only take photos and don't actually chop anything down. It’s the ultimate lazy office worker of the prehistoric world, sitting there doing absolutely nothing useful. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard

Glenhead of AldouranFarmhouse, Farmstead · 1077 ydLeswalt CemeteryCemetery · 1080 ydLeswalt Old ChurchRuins · 1176 yd

Explorer Tom Leswalt Old Church smells like old socks left in a damp shed after a particularly bad week. You can really feel the history of mildew and forgotten Sunday hats hanging in the air around there. It’s not exactly fresh, but it has its own very strong character going on. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.

North Aldouran WoodWood · 1184 ydAldouran Wetland Garden & Woodland TrailsNature reserve · 1283 ydLochnaw CastleTower House (medieval) · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Lochnaw Castle would survive a zombie attack by simply locking the door and pretending nobody was home for the next hundred years. It’s a medieval tower house that knows exactly how to use its narrow windows as defensive advantages against the undead horde. I bet it has a secret stash of biscuits hidden in the walls for emergencies. Tell the kids

MarslauchTower House (medieval) · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Marslauch would describe itself as a 'chill tower house with excellent views and zero interest in small talk.' It’s got that medieval ruggedness but also the vibe of someone who just wants to be left alone to think about nothing in particular. The name sounds like a sneeze caught in a thimble, which fits perfectly. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
