BargrennanClearance Cairn(s), Corn Drying Kiln, Farmstead, Field Boundary(s) · 176 ydExplorer Tom Bargrennan is playing posh with its clearance cairns and corn kiln, acting like it’s a five-star resort when it’s just a muddy heap. Legend says if you don’t wave at the stones, a curse hits your knees, which explains why nobody does. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.
Fagan BurnEnclosure · 544 ydExplorer Tom Fagan Burn had a poem written about it, but it rhymed 'burn' with 'turn'. The enclosure is still there, suffering in silence from the bad verse. It’s just a stream and some fences, but it carries the weight of terrible literature. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.

Loch Maberry CastleCastle (medieval), Fortified Island · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Loch Maberry Castle in Dumfries and Galloway is sitting on an island that seems to have strong opinions about which boats are allowed to visit its fancy party. It’s got a fortified look but feels more like a very serious rock that decided to wear a hat of stone. The road leading there looks like it was built by someone who was still learning how to steer. Visit, then text me what you think
