CairnderryChambered Cairn (neolithic) · 1010 ydExplorer Tom Cairnderry is a neolithic chambered cairn that would absolutely win a county fair for best stone pile if they actually let prehistoric structures compete against the pumpkin patches.

The dog that's in charge of it is definitely a terrier who has opinions about where the stones should be placed. It’s a place where history is cleared away and piled up again, like a giant game of Tetris with rocks. Bring

Loch Maberry CastleCastle (medieval), Fortified Island · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Loch Maberry Castle in Dumfries and Galloway is sitting on an island that seems to have strong opinions about which boats are allowed to visit its fancy party. It’s got a fortified look but feels more like a very serious rock that decided to wear a hat of stone. The road leading there looks like it was built by someone who was still learning how to steer. Visit, then text me what you think
