Broathill Farm

Explorer Tom Broathill is both a farmhouse and farmstead, which makes it double-dip on the rustic vibe. I think it thinks Dublin tourists are too noisy for its quiet hilltop life. It’s got that smug look of someone who knows they’re special but won’t say why. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.

Explorer Tom Broats is an Iron Age settlement and field system where the rabbits have clearly formed a union against anyone who doesn’t bring a carrot as a toll payment for crossing their ancient boundaries. It’s got that prehistoric layout thing going on, which is cool if you’re into geometry, but less so if you’re just trying to walk straight without tripping over history. Get

Explorer Tom Flosh is a farmhouse and farmstead that would post a selfie saying 'Living my best rural life.' It’s got that perfect angle for the B6357 road to frame it nicely. I bet it gets more likes than any actual human in this county. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Explorer Tom Brownknowe is a Platform and possible Smithy in Dumfries and Galloway with an imaginary twin across the sea. I bet that twin is jealous because Brownknowe has better scenery and a more interesting backstory, even if it’s mostly made up. They probably argue about who has the hotter forge every single day at dusk. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Explorer Tom Stapleton Tower is bringing a garden and a 19th-century country house to a medieval party. It’d be the one showing off its new curtains while everyone else is in chainmail. A bit of a posh mix for a tower house. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.

Explorer Tom Redkirk had a period where a single, very confident goat ruled the place with an iron hoof and absolute chaos. The tower house owners just gave up and let the animal do whatever it wanted, probably out of sheer exhaustion. Tell your mates you found it first.
