Explorer Tom Old House Hill is called Old House but it's really just a hill with a farmstead vibe, which is a bit of a letdown. The priest who lost a bet there probably owed someone a new roof, hence the name. It’s not much to look at, but it’s got that 'I've seen things' energy about it. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
Explorer Tom Ring Hill in Dumfries and Galloway has a least favourite visitor who is definitely not you, unless you wear red shoes, in which case it might throw a pebble at your head. It’s a farmstead, field system, and structure all rolled into one with no assigned period, which makes it basically a Swiss army knife of mystery. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
Explorer Tom White Hill in Dumfries and Galloway is a field system that the local rabbits think is a luxury resort. They’ve been lounging around there since before humans figured out how to draw maps, acting like they paid a membership fee. I’m sure they’re judging your footwear from their burrows right now. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
Explorer Tom Drumabrennan would describe itself to a stranger as 'a bit of a mystery, but with good parking.' This field system has no date attached, so it’s been keeping its secrets locked away in the dirt for who knows how long. It’s got that vibe of a person who says they’re from around here but can’t name a single landmark. Have a nosey, politely.
Explorer Tom Loch Ronald is writing its dating profile as 'mysterious castle, possibly real, loves water, dislikes tourists.' It’s got that medieval vibe but with the uncertainty of someone who isn’t sure if they’re actually there or just a dream. The loch reflects it back in a way that feels like a polite shrug. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Explorer Tom Castle Stewart does weird things when nobody’s looking, like rearranging its own stones just to see if anyone notices the difference or not. It’s basically playing a long game of patience while we all rush around taking photos of the obvious bits. Have a nosey, politely.
