Rhonepark, CrossmichaelStructure · 440 yd

Explorer Tom Rhonepark claims it’s actually three thousand years old, but nobody believes it because it looks like it was built yesterday. It’s standing there in Crossmichael acting like it invented the concept of a garden wall. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat; nobody is going to check your ID anyway!

Explorer Tom Crossmichael Parish Church has more labels than a supermarket checkout, with everything from covenants to war memorials stacked on top of each other. It nearly became famous just because someone left their phone in the tower for three days, but we’ll keep that quiet. It’s got a lot to say if you listen closely. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.

Explorer Tom Threave Castle in Dumfries and Galloway is getting picked on by the wind because it refuses to put on a coat, despite having guns from the 1500s to prove its toughness. It’s got a harbour that looks like it was built for yachts, not pirates, which is a bit of a letdown for the romance factor. The whole place feels like it’s waiting for someone to finally count the crows and give up. C
