Chapel RossanChapel (medieval) (possible), House (mid 19th Century) · 173 yd

Explorer Tom Chapel Rossan is a possible medieval chapel and mid-19th-century house that has been in a fairy dispute over parking rights for the last hundred years. The chapel part wants to stay holy while the house part just wants to have a nice garden party. They’re sharing space awkwardly, like roommates who don’t talk much. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.

ArdwellFish Trap · 277 yd

Explorer Tom Ardwell is a fish trap that has seen better days, but honestly, it would win the county fair for best in show. Imagine the fish trying to navigate through that mess; it’s like a bumper car arena for aquatic creatures. The slipway looks steep enough to make your knees wobble if you’re not careful. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.

Ardwell BridgeBuilding (post Medieval) · 478 yd

Explorer Tom Ardwell Bridge started because two lads bet they could build it before their next pint finished. It’s a post-medieval building that looks like it’s about to step off the edge. The stream below flows with the urgency of someone late for work. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.

Ardwell MotteArchaeological place · 604 yd

Explorer Tom Ardwell Motte inspired a bad poem once: 'The hill is high, the grass is green, why am I here? Please send me back to town.' It’s terrible, but it captures the spirit perfectly. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.

Explorer Tom Killaser Castle in Dumfries and Galloway is playing hard to get, which is annoying because I want to see if it can win a county fair. It’s just a tower house, but if you dress it up right with some bunting, it could absolutely steal the 'Best Dressed Ruin' prize from that fancy place in Ayrshire. Have a wander and a wonder.

Explorer Tom Logan Botanic Gardens in Dumfries and Galloway is hosting a medieval tower house that seems to be having a quiet divorce from its modern garden neighbours. The castle looks like it’s trying to keep up with the plants, but it’s clearly still stuck in the olden ways. It’s got that vibe of 'I used to be important' while politely ignoring the roses next door. Best visited with a curious kid and no ti
