Obstruction750 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Obstruction has caught my eye in Argyll and Bute. I bet a obstruction (period unassigned) with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Modified landing place in RoonivoolinModified landing place · 1578 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Modified landing place in Roonivoolin sounds like somewhere you’d park if your car was broken and you didn’t care. If this place were a person at a wedding, it would be the uncle who spills wine on his own shirt and doesn't notice. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

Rue Point LighthouseLighthouse · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Rathlin East Lighthouse has flashed warnings since 1856 at Altacarry Head, proving that some lights just never want to go out.
Kelp Store2.2 miExplorer Tom Kelp Store on Rathlin Island is basically a giant closet that stores seaweed like it’s storing state secrets. It’s been doing this for so long the kelp might be considered family now. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show you can't buy tickets for.

Children of Lir: Sea of MoyleLegend location · 4.5 miExplorer Tom Children of Lir: Sea of Moyle sends those swans out between Ireland and Scotland, as if being turned into birds was not trouble enough.
