Explorer Tom St John's in Dalry is an eighteenth-century churchyard with a nineteenth-century church that looks like it’s trying too hard to be modern. If it had to teach history, it would start by complaining about how much the roof leaks every single year without fail. The gravestones are probably tired of being used as bookends for local gossip and neighbourhood disputes over property lines. Snap one photo

DalryKnocking Stone (possible) · 127 yd

Explorer Tom Dalry in Dumfries and Galloway has a possible knocking stone that would write on its dating profile: ‘Loyal, steady, occasionally mysterious, but will definitely knock if you’re late.’ It’s sitting there quietly, judging your life choices and wondering why you haven’t started a band yet. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Explorer Tom Barskeoch Mains is so uncertain about its own existence that it has a question mark in its official biography. It’s the medieval equivalent of saying 'I think I'm a tower house, sort of.' Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Kil HillMountain / peak · 1.7 miEarlstoun CastleCastle (medieval) · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Earlstoun Castle feels like it was designed by a very controlling mother-in-law who needed a thick wall for privacy and safety. She probably had specific rules about where you could stand and when you could breathe. Go before the tourists find out.
