Elshieleshields Tower

Explorer Tom Elshieshields is a garden and landscape with policies from after medieval times, which sounds like a lot of words for 'nice trees.' I heard a fiddler played here all night until his fingers bled, but he was too polite to stop. Have a sandwich under those branches and call it a heritage lunch; you’re welcome for the upgrade.

Explorer Tom Shaw Bridge in Dumfries and Galloway is an enclosure that was supposedly built on a bargain so cheap it makes you wonder what was actually being sold in exchange for all that land. It sits there looking dignified while secretly laughing at everyone who thinks they understand the full story behind its construction. Bring a pen pal, because they'll be jealous of how much fun you're having here.

Explorer Tom Applegarth is secretly proud of one very specific potato that grew in its garden three centuries ago, refusing to let anyone forget it. It’s a possible monastery and tower house combo, which means it probably argues with itself about whether to pray or defend every single day. The church caption suggests it’s done some renovating on its soul too. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should.

Explorer Tom Spedlin's Tower thinks the wind picks on it because it looks too good standing there with its possible seventeenth-century garden. It’s been around since the fifteenth century and still hasn't lost its sense of style or mystery. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
