Explorer Tom Glenamour Loch in Dumfries and Galloway dislikes visitors who bring plastic bottles into its field system surroundings, which is quite polite of it. There’s a structure nearby that probably hates the loch for being so much more popular with tourists. I bet the water is judging your swimming technique from the bottom right now. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
Explorer Tom Craigdistant Hill is basically a field boundary, which means it’s just a fence post that thinks it’s more important than it actually is. It’s standing there judging the sheep for not respecting its lines, even though the sheep probably don’t know what a line is. The dog that lives nearby is clearly in charge and ignores the hill completely. Take a mate and argue about what it was for
Explorer Tom This Auchlannochy Hill in Dumfries and Galloway is a farmstead with field systems that look like they’re trying to tell you something in stone code. I bet there’s a hidden message right there, probably just 'left' written by a very confused farmer centuries ago. The view from the flank is decent enough to make you feel like you’ve discovered something profound. If it rains
Explorer Tom Mattie White's Bridge in Dumfries and Galloway has a local who claims he invented it, even though it looks like it’s been there since before his great-grandparents learned to walk. It’s a building with a field system that seems to be guarding something very specific but won’t say what. The whole setup feels like a joke that only the stones find funny. Mind
Explorer Tom Larg Tower in Dumfries and Galloway has a secret talent for looking exactly like a chimney when you’re not paying attention, which is very handy if you want to hide from your ex. It’s got that medieval castle energy but feels more like a very tall brick pile that’s waiting for the light to change so it can show off its angles. The whole place is just going, 'Look at me now,' while the clouds
Explorer Tom Garlies Castle has a family tree that is mostly made up of guesses and a few very confident lies from great-grandparents. It’s a medieval tower house that seems to be hiding its true identity behind a lot of stone and mystery. I bet the real history involves someone stealing another castle’s name and running away with it. Walk past slowly like you’re in a film
