Crossmichael, Main Street, GeneralGeneral View · 373 yd

Explorer 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.

CrossmichaelAxehead (copper Alloy)(bronze Age) · 608 yd

Explorer Tom Crossmichael in Dumfries and Galloway is basically a copper axehead that got lazy about four thousand years ago. I reckon two lads bet a pint on who could bury it first, then both forgot where they put it. The map says the pin is only accurate to the nearest kilometre, which feels like cheating honestly. If it rains, blame me.

Explorer 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
