West CairngaanField Boundary(s) · 128 yd

Explorer Tom West Cairngaan hosted a dance once where everyone got a bit too carried away with the boundaries. It’s a field boundary now, but you can still feel the residual energy of people arguing over who owns what. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
