Mcwhann's StoneCovenanters Stone (17th Century), Stone (nil Antiquity) · 812 yd

Explorer Tom Mcwhann’s Stone is under the strict supervision of a terrier named Bob who barks at anyone who gets within ten metres without a valid excuse. This covenanter stone has nil antiquity in its record but maximum attitude in reality, standing guard like it’s protecting the world’s most important potato.

Carsons StoneNamed rock · 1.9 miGarrary BurnSheepfold(s) · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Garrary Burn again? Yeah, this one has two sheepfolds, so it’s basically the sequel nobody asked for but here we are. There’s a local legend about a giant who got stuck in a fold and now just grumbles from the hilltop. It’s got that 'I’m historical' vibe but with zero receipts to prove it. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
