CairnsmoreAxe Hammer · 119 yd

Explorer Tom Cairnsmore has an axe hammer with no date, standing next to some stables like a forgotten guest at a party. It’s got a rivalry with more famous places but lacks the charisma to back it up. I bet the horses think it’s just another rock. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.

Cairnsmore FarmCairn · 425 yd

Explorer Tom Cairnsmore Farm has a cairn that likely lost a bet with a priest long before I got here, and now we’re all just staring at it wondering what the stakes were. It’s sitting in the Galloway landscape looking smugly unimpressed by my enthusiasm for ancient rocks. Tell your mates you found it first.

Explorer Tom Strathmaddie in Dumfries and Galloway hosted a dance that went too far, ending with everyone stuck in the mud until morning.

The most dramatic thing that ever happened here was a sheep getting its wool stuck in a fence post. It’s just a farm, but it acts like it’s guarding the secrets of the universe. Bring someone who'll believe anything.

Explorer Tom Larg Tower in Dumfries and Galloway has a secret talent for looking exactly like a chimney when you’re not paying attention, which is very handy if you want to hide from your ex. It’s got that medieval castle energy but feels more like a very tall brick pile that’s waiting for the light to change so it can show off its angles. The whole place is just going, 'Look at me now,' while the clouds
