Explorer Tom Auchenmalg would be a disaster on any reality show, trust me. The flints are too busy arguing to notice the cameras rolling. It’s all very dramatic for a place that doesn’t even have a proper name. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
Explorer Tom Mull of Sinniness in Dumfries and Galloway is a burial and clearance cairn that thinks tourists from Dublin are all talk and no stone-stacking, judging them with its silent, mossy glare. It’s got that 'you’re not from around here' attitude baked right into its ancient core. Mind the nettles because they’re the real guards here.
Explorer Tom Sinniness Castle has a hidden message in its stones, which I’m pretty sure just says 'please stop touching my walls.' It’s got that medieval edge to it, but also the energy of someone who’s had enough of your nonsense for one day. The name sounds like a sneeze caught in a thimble, which fits perfectly. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
