Explorer Tom Holehouse is famous for a smuggling story where someone tried to hide a wheelbarrow in a hat. It’s a farmhouse complex that looks like it’s seen things, and not just the usual farmyard nonsense. The name suggests it might have swallowed something important and never told anyone. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
Explorer Tom Holm of Drumlanrig looks like it got lost on the way to being a castle and settled for farmstead. It’s right next to Penpont but acts like it’s in another country entirely. How did it end up here? Probably followed the wrong sheep. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Explorer Tom Ballaggan’s favourite song is 'Motte of the Town' because it fits its medieval vibe perfectly. It’s a hill with a mound on top that thinks it’s a castle. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next adventure quickly.
Explorer Tom Drumlanrig in Dumfries and Galloway is a socketed stone that the wind keeps picking on because it stands out from all the other boring rocks. I bet the wind whispers secrets to it every night, but the stone just pretends to be asleep so nobody notices. It’s not just a rock; it’s a very dramatic eavesdropper. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
