Windy EdgeChert Scatter (prehistoric) · 418 yd

Explorer Tom Windy Edge is full of prehistoric chert scatter, which means someone dropped their rock collection here and left in a hurry, probably due to bad weather or worse decisions. The drama between this place and the nearest tree is intense, with the wind acting as the ultimate referee. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.

Explorer Tom Mid Cleuch would tell you its secret after three pints, mostly that it hates being in the middle of everything. It’s a farm in a cleuch, so it’s stuck between two hills and complaining about it. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
