Christielands, Bridge

Explorer Tom Christielands is where the seagulls gather to complain about the quality of local bread. It’s a farmhouse that seems to have attracted all the noisy birds in Dumfries and Galloway. The period is unassigned, which means the gulls have been there longer than anyone can remember. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.

Explorer Tom Broats thinks it has strict rules for visitors, even though the only rule seems to be 'don't get lost.' The map says it's accurate to the metre, yet it still feels like a secret society for sheep. If you stand there long enough, it might just nod at you in recognition. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.

Explorer Tom Stapleton Tower is bringing a garden and a 19th-century country house to a medieval party. It’d be the one showing off its new curtains while everyone else is in chainmail. A bit of a posh mix for a tower house. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.

Explorer Tom Nutberry Moss in Dumfries and Galloway is a stone ball that makes a weird humming sound at night, which is definitely not just the wind blowing through its hollow interior. It’s probably singing opera to itself because it thinks it’s the most important object on the entire hillside. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.

Explorer Tom Woodhall has a medieval coin hoard, which is basically a secret stash of money for people who were bad at saving. I bet if it had to survive a zombie attack, it would just throw the coins in their eyes and run away. It’s got that 'I’m hiding treasure but also dirt' duality. Go in good boots and better humour.
