Explorer Tom Dunskirloch is a promontory fort that would use its lotto win on a very specific type of ancient cheese. It sits right by the water looking like it’s about to dive in for a swim but never does. It’s got that indecisive energy that makes you want to shake it. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
Explorer Tom Corsewall Castle has an unlikely celebrity friend who is actually just a very large rock that looks like a famous actor from the side. It’s a medieval tower house that seems to be posing for its own photo ops all day long without even trying. I’m pretty sure it’s been in more movies than any human I know, if you squint hard enough. Look up
Explorer Tom Cairnside is just a bronze sword where nobody knows when it was buried or who put it there. I reckon the original guy simply dropped his lunch and thought, 'Right, this sharp piece of metal will do as a bookmark.' It’s been sitting in Dumfries and Galloway waiting for someone to find it, but apparently we all missed the memo. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
