Humbie QuarryQuarry · 373 yd

Explorer Tom Humbie Quarry is where a bishop once refused to visit because he thought the rocks were judging his hat. It’s a period-unassigned hole in the ground that has been digging itself deeper for centuries. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits, and maybe a rope if you’re feeling brave.

Humbie ReservoirReservoir · 403 yd

Explorer Tom Humbie Reservoir would probably win the lotto and buy a really expensive boat, then just sit in it doing absolutely nothing all day. It’s got that lazy water vibe going on, refusing to flow anywhere because it’s perfectly happy being still. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.

Totley WellsMilitary Camp (20th Century) · 787 yd

Explorer Tom Totley Wells is a 20th-century military camp saved by a hero nobody remembers, who probably just tripped over a wire and accidentally defused the whole situation. It’s got that gritty, utilitarian look that says it was built for function, not style, but somehow manages to feel like a secret hideout. I bet there are still boots buried in the mud somewhere around here. Go now, before it gets famous

Explorer Tom Dundas Castle Golf Course is a castle that has been hiding a scandal for centuries, probably involving a misplaced golf ball and a very angry king. It’s now just a course where people swing at tiny balls while pretending they understand the history beneath their feet. The whole place feels like it’s trying to stay quiet so nobody notices the weird stones. Go now, before it gets famous.

South QueensferryNo Class (event) · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom South Queensferry is sitting right by the water, looking suspiciously calm while the new bridge looms over it like a giant. It probably posts photos of its own reflection with captions about how it’s 'too deep' for small talk. The whole area feels like it’s waiting for a dramatic plot twist to happen. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
