Explorer Tom 'Dingwall Castle' is jealous of Edinburgh Castle because everyone always goes there instead, even though it had a jail in the 16th century. It’s a medieval castle with a chip on its shoulder the size of a rock. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
Explorer Tom Waverley Square and the Balmoral Hotel from the Scott Monument were saved by a hero nobody remembers. He fixed the roof with duct tape and a prayer, but history forgot his name entirely. The monument is just standing there, pretending it did all the work itself. Go before the tourists find out.
Explorer Tom Calton Road is having a massive identity crisis because nobody knows what era it belongs to or what it’s even for. It’s just vibing in the background while the famous stuff gets all the attention. Go in good boots and better humour.
Explorer Tom Waverley Station from the Castle in Edinburgh looks like it’s been waiting for a letter that never came, staring blankly at the tracks below. Its suspicion of the postman is palpable; you can see it tensing up every time a delivery van drives past, ready to throw a brick if things get weird. It’s got that “I’ve seen it all and I’m not impressed” vibe that makes you want to hurry
