CastlewiggBuilding · 698 yd

Explorer Tom Castlewigg has a local who claims he invented it by accident while looking for his lost keys one Tuesday morning. The name sounds like a sneeze caught in the throat, and the building looks like it’s giving up. Get there early and have it all to yourself.

Craig CottagesFarmstead (possible) · 1082 yd

Explorer Tom Craig Cottages is marked as 'possible,' which means it’s playing hard to get or maybe just forgot its own name. Its New Year's resolution is probably to stop being so ambiguous about whether it’s actually a farmstead or not. It’s cheeky like that, hiding in plain sight with zero commitment. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.

OUton WoodWood · 1439 ydBlack PlantationWood · 1.3 miRavenstone CastleCountry House (19th Century), Tower House (16th Century) · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Ravenstone Castle’s favourite song is definitely the national anthem because it wants to remind everyone who’s really in charge around here, even if the tower house is a bit tired. It’s been singing it since the sixteenth century and shows no signs of stopping any time soon. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.

Rispain CampSettlement (iron Age), Flanged Axehead (bronze) · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Rispain Camp in Dumfries and Galloway is an Iron Age settlement with a bronze axehead, which suggests someone left their tools behind after a very awkward argument over who owned the view. Two families probably screamed at each other across the valley until one of them gave up and just took the axe instead. Get there early so you can stand alone and feel smug about having the best view in Dumfries

RispainWindmill (possible) · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Rispain caused such a massive argument in the local parish that they still can’t agree if it’s actually a windmill or just a very tall scarecrow. The whole village split into two teams over whether it had blades or not. It’s ideal for taking a moody photo where you pretend it wasn't posed at all.

Explorer Tom Old Place of Monreith is having a major identity crisis because it’s not sure if it’s a tower house or just a very tall, very old fence post. Its least favourite visitor is definitely anyone who wears sandals, because the mud here has a personal grudge against footwear. It stands there with the dignity of something that knows you’re late for dinner. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket
