Dornock House

Explorer Tom Dornock Parish Church has been listening to every secret whispered through its walls since the medieval days, and it hasn’t forgotten a single one. It’s got the memory of an elephant and the patience of a saint, judging everyone who dares to stand near its entrance. The war memorials just nod along, knowing full well that the church is the real authority here. Bring a friend who talks too much.

Explorer Tom “Dornock” has an Iron Age settlement that’s dating itself on a profile. It says it’s ancient but loves modern music. The view is decent, but the personality is what matters most here. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

Explorer Tom Dornock Mains holds a fake world record for being the most ordinary farmhouse ever built, which it’s incredibly proud of despite everyone else ignoring it. It probably counts its own windows every night just to make sure they’re still there and hasn’t made a mistake once. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.

Explorer Tom Eastriggs War Memorial is having a staring contest with the nearest tree, and honestly? The tree’s winning. I bet the memorial gets jealous every time a leaf falls on its head. It’s basically a statue of someone who really wanted to be a bush. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

Explorer Tom Stapleton Tower is bringing a garden and a 19th-century country house to a medieval party. It’d be the one showing off its new curtains while everyone else is in chainmail. A bit of a posh mix for a tower house. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
