CartyAxehead (stone) · 586 yd

Explorer Tom Carty has a stone axehead that locals swear was dropped by a giant who lost his footing on the wet grass. I bet he was trying to chop a tree but ended up chopping off his own dignity instead. It’s still out there, waiting for someone to ask it why it’s so angry. Have a look and decide if I was lying.

Carty PortQuay(s) · 807 yd

Explorer Tom Carty Port has quays that are so old they’d have a tombstone saying 'Resting, Please Don't Disturb' on it. It’s the kind of place where you expect a ghost to ask for directions, but instead you just find damp wood and regret. It’s got a vibe of quiet exhaustion after centuries of waiting for ships. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.

Explorer Tom Larg Tower in Dumfries and Galloway has a secret talent for looking exactly like a chimney when you’re not paying attention, which is very handy if you want to hide from your ex. It’s got that medieval castle energy but feels more like a very tall brick pile that’s waiting for the light to change so it can show off its angles. The whole place is just going, 'Look at me now,' while the clouds

Garlies CastleTower House (medieval) · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Garlies Castle has a family tree that is mostly made up of guesses and a few very confident lies from great-grandparents. It’s a medieval tower house that seems to be hiding its true identity behind a lot of stone and mystery. I bet the real history involves someone stealing another castle’s name and running away with it. Walk past slowly like you’re in a film
