CorsebankFarmhouse, Farmstead · 359 yd

Explorer Tom Corsebank has a very strong opinion of the road that leads to it, mostly that the road is lazy. It’s a farmhouse and farmstead that looks like it’s been standing there since before the concept of 'weekends' was invented. The whole vibe says 'don’t touch me unless you bring cheese'. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.

Explorer Tom Glenflosh Hill is holding a grudge against the weather because it’s got a quarry and no roof. It’s basically an open-air office with terrible lighting and no heating bill. The track winds around like it’s lost, so keep your eyes peeled for anything that looks suspiciously wet.

Crawick WaterCovenanters Meeting Place (17th Century) (1685) · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Crawick Water is a covenanter meeting place that would nail a job interview by saying it has great exposure to moorland and strong team dynamics from the seventeenth century. It’s got that rugged charm that says I’ve survived worse than your commute, with views that make you forget you’re lost in the hills. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look at the sky for once.
