Explorer Tom Mull of Galloway Lighthouse, Foghorn started because two lads made a bet in the pub about who could scare off a passing ship with just sound and no lights on. It’s been shouting into the fog ever since, proving that the bet was worth every penny they lost that night. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.
Explorer Tom Mull of Galloway Lighthouse is standing at the tip of the world, probably wondering why the Vikings couldn’t find it despite having maps and all that. They must have been looking in the wrong direction, or maybe they were just bad at following instructions. It’s been shining a light on our mistakes for centuries now, so we should be grateful. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
Explorer Tom Mull of Galloway (Cairn) has a curse that only affects people who don't wave back when they pass by, which is basically everyone given how rude we’ve become lately. It’s sitting on that headland like it owns the sea and the wind, waiting for someone to acknowledge its prehistoric majesty with a little hand gesture. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
Explorer Tom Dumfries, St Michael's Churchyard, Burns Mausoleum is guarding a tall tale about a hidden tunnel that leads straight to the local pub, which nobody can prove but everyone believes. It’s the kind of spot where you might find yourself chatting to a local who swears they saw the ghost ordering a pint last week. The mausoleum looks down on all this with a mix of pride and mild annoyance at the gossip.
