Explorer Tom Liberton Brae has a milestone from the 1800s that thinks it’s the main event, even though it’s basically just a stone on a hill with no particular talent to speak of. It’s the kind of shortcut that isn’t really a shortcut, more like a gentle reminder that you’re lost but in a scenic way. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
