Loch LurkieMotte (medieval) (possible) · 581 ydExplorer Tom Loch Lurkie is a possible medieval motte where locals swear if you blink three times, you’ll lose your voice until sundown, which I definitely don’t believe but will test anyway. It’s right by the water, so it probably has a damp problem that even the ancient builders couldn’t fix properly. The trees around the loch look like they’re gossiping about everyone who walks past with their back turned.

BarwhillantyFlanged Axehead (bronze) · 1470 ydExplorer 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. The beech hedges around it look like they’re trying to keep the secrets safe. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
