Corsewall Lighthouse, FoghornFog Horn (19th Century) - (20th Century) · 35 ydDunskirlochPromontory Fort (iron Age) · 219 yd

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.

BarnhillsBuilding · 1480 ydCorsewall CastleTower House (medieval) · 1715 yd

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

CairnsideSword (bronze) · 1.0 mi

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.
