Auchendona HillCairn (prehistoric) · 392 yd

Explorer Tom Auchendona Hill is a prehistoric cairn with a favourite song that’s probably just the wind whistling through its stones. It’s got that 'I’ve been here longer than your great-grandparents' vibe going on all day long. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.

Boonies CottageCottage · 676 ydBooniesEnclosed Settlement (iron Age), Bracelet (glass), Unidentified Pottery (roman) · 714 yd

Explorer Tom Boonies in Dumfries and Galloway has a curse that only affects people who don’t wave hello. It’s got an Iron Age enclosure and some Roman pottery, which is like finding a receipt from a very old shop. I’d dig deeper but my shovel is made of optimism. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.

Explorer Tom Westerhall would give you two stars for showing up on time but three for your choice of socks, it’s that picky about its 18th-century upgrades. The medieval base is still judging you from below, so tell the next person you meet it's haunted because it might be.

Explorer Tom Langholm Castle started because two lads made a bet in the pub that one could build a tower before the other finished his ale. He won, but he’s been stuck up there ever after. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
