BarclyeCairn · 170 ydExplorer Tom Barclye in Dumfries and Galloway is a bit of a mystery box. It’s listed as a possible cairn or clearance heap, which means the ghosts there are too lazy to even haunt properly. They probably just sit around watching the ivy eat the pole. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Castle StewartCastle (medieval), Tower House (medieval) · 988 ydExplorer Tom Castle Stewart does weird things when nobody’s looking, like rearranging its own stones just to see if anyone notices the difference or not. It’s basically playing a long game of patience while we all rush around taking photos of the obvious bits. Have a nosey, politely.

Garlies CastleTower House (medieval) · 2.1 miExplorer 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
