Explorer Tom Hayberry Mill would write 'Looking for someone with good flow' on its dating profile. It’s an unassigned watermill that seems to be waiting for the right current. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Explorer Tom Cocklicks is sitting there looking confused about its own era because nobody gave it a proper birthday card. It smells like wet wool, old potatoes, and the distinct scent of a decision that hasn’t been made yet. The farmhouse has no date, so it’s basically just a mystery box you can’t open without checking the deed first. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
Explorer Tom Kirkstyle in Dumfries and Galloway has very strong opinions on modern buildings, mostly that they look like giant fridge magnets stuck to the side of the earth. It’s an unassigned farmhouse and farmstead with a cottage that seems to be judging your taste in architecture from a safe distance. The structure looks like it would turn up its nose at
Explorer Tom Ruthwell has strong opinions about modern buildings, probably thinking they’re all made of cardboard and bad taste. It’s a possible enclosure with the confidence of a full castle, just vibing in the unknown without any real proof. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Explorer Tom Comlongon Castle (Hotel) has developed a long-standing grudge against the weather for ruining its romantic exterior. It’s a castle turned hotel that looks like it’s been arguing with the clouds for centuries. This grand building pretends to be dignified while secretly wishing for a sunny day so it can show off properly. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
Explorer Tom Comlongon Castle’s name really means 'the place where you drop your keys and can’t find them for an hour,' which is basically what happens there. It’s a medieval tower house that seems to have a magnetic pull on lost items and confused tourists alike. I’m pretty sure the 'Com' stands for 'confused,' but who am I to judge? A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
