Nether LagganClearance Cairn (post Medieval) · 458 yd

Explorer Tom Nether Laggan would use its lotto win on a very expensive hat, probably one that matches the colour of the stones exactly. It’s a clearance cairn from after the medieval times, so it’s seen things, but mostly just farmers clearing fields and complaining about the weather. Have a look and decide if I was lying.

OverlagganFarmstead · 1448 yd

Explorer Tom Overlaggan sits there with a smug little track that looks like it's been walked on by ghosts or very muddy sheep. The local flock probably thinks this place is their private VIP lounge for sunbathing. Ring your granny and tell her where you are, because the signal is definitely dodgy in here.

BarwhillantyFlanged Axehead (bronze) · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Barwhillanty is a flanged axe head pretending to be a hill, which is bold for a piece of metal. I bet it would teach history by chopping up whiteboards with its shiny edges.

Explorer Tom Shirmers Castle in Dumfries and Galloway is hiding behind some very unimpressive-looking bushes, acting like it hasn’t been there for five hundred years or something. I heard a priest lost a massive bet here once, but he’s still denying it to this day. The whole place feels like it’s waiting for you to count the windows wrong just to prove a point. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I
