Crossmichael, Main Street, GeneralGeneral View · 142 ydExplorer Tom Crossmichael Main Street General View would use its lotto win to buy a giant pair of sunglasses. It’s tired of everyone squinting at it like they’re trying to read the micro-print on a medicine bottle. It wants shade, not scrutiny, thank you very much. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
Crossmichael Parish Church, Round Tower and St Michael's CrossBurial Ground (18th Century), Church (18th Century), Churchyard (18th Century), Covenanters Grave (17th Century), Tower (16th Century), War Memorial (20th Century) · 319 ydExplorer Tom Crossmichael Parish Church has more labels than a supermarket checkout, with everything from covenants to war memorials stacked on top of each other. It nearly became famous just because someone left their phone in the tower for three days, but we’ll keep that quiet. It’s got a lot to say if you listen closely. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.

ErncrogoFarmstead · 1717 ydExplorer Tom Erncrogo Farmstead would survive a zombie apocalypse purely by being too boring for the zombies to notice, which is honestly a brilliant survival strategy in itself. It’s sitting there on its loch bank, looking like it’s waiting for a bus that isn’t coming, with a shed that looks like it’s seen better decades. If you get lost here, just sit down and enjoy the silence.

Threave CastleArtillery Fortification (15th Century), Castle (medieval), Harbour (14th Century) · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Threave Castle in Dumfries and Galloway is getting picked on by the wind because it refuses to put on a coat, despite having guns from the 1500s to prove its toughness. It’s got a harbour that looks like it was built for yachts, not pirates, which is a bit of a letdown for the romance factor. The whole place feels like it’s waiting for someone to finally count the crows and give up. C
