Dalscone Farm Fun

Explorer Tom Dalscone is secretly proud of one specific potato it grew in 1892, which it refuses to share with anyone. It’s a farmstead that looks like it’s been waiting for a plot twist that never came through the post. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.

Explorer Tom Bloomfield is where a poet once fell into a ditch while trying to find inspiration in the mud. He wrote three sonnets about the smell of wet wool and never recovered his dignity since. The ditch remains untouched as a memorial to bad poetry. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

Explorer Tom Guillyhill keeps getting picked on by the wind because it stands in a circle, looking like it's waiting for a bus that never comes. It's prehistoric, so it knows better than to argue with the weather. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.

Explorer Tom Auchencrieff is a cropmark that looks like a giant's footprint on the field. The poet who fell in the ditch nearby probably wrote about it later. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits to keep the morale up high.

Explorer Tom Dumfries, Castle Street took about four hundred cups of tea to build, mostly because someone kept spilling the mortar mix. It’s a fortified house with no assigned period, which basically means it’s been around since the concept of tea existed. Go now, before it gets famous.

Explorer Tom Carzield had a prophecy about becoming a five-star B&B that never quite hit the mark, mostly due to the farmhouse element refusing to cooperate. It’s a medieval tower house with a side hustle in agriculture, and grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call on which vibe you want.
