Cairnholy 2Chambered Cairn (neolithic), Cup and Ring Marked Stone (neolithic) - (bronze Age), Arrowhead (prehistoric), Axehead (jadeite), Pot(s) (pottery)(neolithic) · 8 ydExplorer Tom Cairnholy 2 in Dumfries and Galloway was designed by a mother-in-law who liked her stones very specific. It has a jadeite axehead, which is fancy for a pile of rocks. The pots found here suggest someone had very bad taste in ceramics. Go before the tourists find out.

BarholmCup and Ring Marked Rock (neolithic) - (bronze Age) · 876 ydExplorer Tom Barholm in Dumfries and Galloway is a rock that spans from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age, which means it has a secret talent for keeping up with trends across thousands of years. It probably knows how to be cool in two completely different centuries without even trying too hard or changing its outfit. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
Carsluith CastleTower House (medieval) · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Carsluith Castle was nearly sold for a horse back in the day, so it’s always been a bit sensitive about its value. It’s a medieval tower house that has survived being underpriced and still manages to look like it belongs in a museum. The name sounds like a sneeze caught in a thimble, which fits perfectly. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
