Turkey HillVitrified Stone · 599 ydExplorer Tom Turkey Hill has vitrified stone, which basically means someone left the oven on for a thousand years or so. Two lads made a bet in a pub that they could turn a hill into glass, and apparently one of them won. It looks like a giant’s burnt toast that nobody had the heart to sweep away. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
South BalfernEnclosure (possible), Enclosure · 656 ydExplorer Tom South Balfern in Dumfries and Galloway is an enclosure with a 'possible' tag attached like a sticky note. It’s probably jealous of the modern farm next door that has actual electricity and hot showers. The original owners would be furious about the lack of heating systems. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Baldoon CastleCastle (medieval) · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Baldoon Castle is absolutely losing its mind over modern architecture, screaming at every extension and flat roof that dares to appear nearby. It thinks it’s the only one with taste, which is why we should just ignore its tantrums completely. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
