Balcraig MoorFarmstead · 490 ydBig BalcraigCup and Ring Marked Rock (prehistoric) · 1221 yd

Explorer Tom Big Balcraig is showing off its rings in Dumfries and Galloway. It’s a prehistoric rock that thinks it’s the main attraction, which is bold for a stone sitting in a field. Its least favourite visitor? Probably anyone who brings a selfie stick and blocks the sunlight. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.

LandberrickAxehead (stone) · 1242 yd

Explorer Tom Landberrick is home to a stone axehead that gave up its sharpness for Lent as a bit of a spiritual flex. It figured it didn’t need to cut anything if it was feeling particularly holy and reflective. Now it’s just a blunt instrument, sitting there looking very pious and slightly confused about what it’s supposed to do now. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Explorer Tom Old Place of Monreith is having a major identity crisis because it’s not sure if it’s a tower house or just a very tall, very old fence post. Its least favourite visitor is definitely anyone who wears sandals, because the mud here has a personal grudge against footwear. It stands there with the dignity of something that knows you’re late for dinner. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket

Myrton CastleCastle (medieval), Motte (medieval) · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Myrton Castle in Dumfries and Galloway is sitting on a motte that looks like someone dumped a hill of dirt and said, 'Yeah, this is it.' It’s got that medieval castle vibe but feels more like a very serious rock pile that’s waiting for you to write a bad poem about it. The whole place is just going, 'Make it rhyme,' while the wind tries to blow your voice away. H
