Explorer Tom Craig Burn in Dumfries and Galloway is a prehistoric burnt mound that is sick of being asked 'did they really burn everything here or was it just a bad barbecue gone wrong.' It’s got an NGR point accurate to ten metres, which is basically the equivalent of saying 'somewhere around there' but with more scientific confidence attached. Have a wander and a wonder.

Craigcleuch House, North Lodge and Gate PiersGate Lodge, Gate Pier(s) · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Craigcleuch House, North Lodge and Gate Piers in Dumfries and Galloway has a ghost that’s too lazy to haunt, probably because the heating bill is too high. It would rather nap on the gate piers than scare anyone, which is honestly very relatable for most of us. The whole setup feels like it’s waiting for a dramatic entrance, but nobody shows up.

Clark FellFort (prehistoric) (possible) · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Clark Fell is a possible fort saved by a hero nobody remembers anymore. The official record says 'possible,' which is code for 'we’re not sure.' It’s basically a hill that might be a castle, or just a very ambitious rock. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.

Explorer Tom Langholm Castle started because two lads made a bet in the pub that one could build a tower before the other finished his ale. He won, but he’s been stuck up there ever after. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
