Explorer Tom Bankhead of Tinwald is an enclosure that has had so many former names it’s lost count completely. It’s marked as possible, which means it’s probably just waiting for someone to give it a proper introduction. I bet it’s been changing its mind about what it wants to be since the Middle Ages. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
Explorer Tom What was the builder of Upper Lairdmannoch really thinking? Probably that if he heated these stones enough, they’d stop being boring and start telling stories. It’s a burnt mound that’s been waiting for a good story since forever. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
Explorer Tom Lochmaben Castle would handle a nosey neighbour by just staring at them until they felt awkward enough to leave quietly. It’s medieval, impressive, and probably judging your footwear choice right now as you walk past its walls. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
