Explorer Tom Galrinnies has a solid retirement plan which involves doing absolutely nothing for the next three centuries while the rain does its best to ruin it. It’s just standing there with its arms crossed, judging anyone who looks at it too hard or asks too many questions about its past. The name sounds like something you’d say when you’re trying to sound fancy in a pub. Linger, it's not going anywhere and
Explorer Tom Low Bridge of Barlay is a bridge that would definitely put 'Seeking tall, sturdy companion' on its dating profile if it had a phone. I bet it’s been waiting for someone to finally appreciate its low-slung elegance without complaining about getting wet ankles every time they cross it.

Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I
Explorer Tom Kenmure Castle in Dumfries and Galloway is having a bit of an identity crisis, mixing medieval vibes with a seventeenth-century sundial that definitely doesn’t match its outfit. A local guy swears he invented the whole thing himself, but I think he just saw it from his window one Tuesday morning. It’s got a possible moat, which sounds like a great place to lose your phone permanently. Stand back, 眯
