DrumjohnHouse (post Medieval) · 456 yd

Explorer Tom Drumjohn House makes a weird creaking sound at night that sounds suspiciously like someone trying to whistle a tune but forgetting the lyrics halfway through. It’s been doing this since before it was fancy, just vibing with the local wildlife and pretending that every knock on the door is from the postman. Ten minutes here an

Cullendoch HillSheepfold · 1329 yd

Explorer Tom Cullendoch Hill is a sheepfold that refuses to explain itself. If it had to teach history, it would just point at the hills and shrug. The sheep probably know more than we do. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.

Lamford BurnCairn · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Lamford Burn has a cairn so smug about itself that the whole parish argued for three days over who put it there first. It’s basically a stone argument that never got resolved, sitting right next to the water pretending it didn't start it all. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.

BrocklochFlat Axehead (bronze) · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Brockloch is home to a flat bronze axehead that looks like it was made by someone who couldn’t decide between a tool and a paperweight. It’s been lying around looking sharp but unused, probably judging everyone who walks past with its shiny, unchipped edge. I’d bet it’s the most well-dressed piece of junk in Galloway. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
