Explorer Tom Kirkton Burn has the seagulls gossiping about its medieval building platform like it’s the hottest real estate in town. They’re saying it’s got character but also a leaky roof that dates back to the 1300s. It’s all very exclusive and slightly damp. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

SwingillBurnt Mound (prehistoric) · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Swingill is a burnt mound that only tells the truth after three pints, which explains why nobody knows what it actually did. It’s probably burning a secret right now that would shock your entire family tree. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

Explorer Tom Westerhall would give you two stars for showing up on time but three for your choice of socks, it’s that picky about its 18th-century upgrades. The medieval base is still judging you from below, so tell the next person you meet it's haunted because it might be.

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.
