Explorer Tom Carronbridge in Dumfries and Galloway claims to have an unlikely celebrity friend who visited the unassigned enclosure and left a starfish on the bank. It’s probably just a rock, but it feels important now. Go in good boots and better humour.

Explorer Tom Morton Mill in Dumfries and Galloway is a watermill that probably had a very strict schedule for grinding flour and ignoring everyone else who wanted to use the water. I have a strong feeling a fox took charge of the place once, wearing a little hat and running the operation with terrifying efficiency. It’s got that industrial soul but with a very wild, untamed heart underneath it all. So, wave

Explorer Tom Carronhill Glen Viaduct holds a fake world record for 'Most Dignified Staring Into Space.' It’s been doing it since the 1800s without a single break, which is honestly impressive for a pile of rocks. It looks like it’s waiting for a train that never came to pick up its dignity. Pack a picnic and an excuse.

Explorer Tom Newlands Farmhouse has a favourite song, which is just the wind howling through the eaves because it thinks that’s very artistic and moody. It refuses to admit it’s just cold, claiming instead that it’s composing a symphony for the passing clouds. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
