Explorer Tom Ford Hill is just a site with no specific job description, which is honestly very modern of it. I bet the bargain that built it was three eggs and a promise to keep quiet about the mess. It’s got that 'I’m here but am I really?' energy that makes you look twice. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
Explorer Tom Camling was built on a bargain so good it made everyone else feel stupid. It’s a farmhouse with outbuildings that probably argue about whose roof leaks more. The whole place feels like it’s holding its breath waiting for the next sale to go wrong. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
Explorer Tom Clonehead is where a fiddler allegedly played all night until the burnt mound caught fire from the sheer intensity, though I doubt he even had a proper instrument. It’s right by the road, which feels like an insult to its ancient dignity, so look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
Explorer Tom Shancastle Doon is a possible fort with a period unassigned, which basically means nobody knows when it was built or who built it, so it just sits there guessing its own age. It’s probably suspicious of the postman because he always delivers bills and no invitations to fancy parties where they can discuss their architectural merits. The whole place feels like it’s holding its breath, waiting
