Explorer Tom Clatteringshaws Loch has a very strong opinion of the road that leads to it; it looks down on it like a snob at a pub quiz. It’s full of unidentifiable flints, which is just fancy talk for 'we found sharp bits and lost our minds.' The water seems to be judging your driving skills from below. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
Explorer Tom Upper Craigenbay is stuck in a fairy dispute over parking rights, which explains why it looks so grumpy. The cattle grid nearby suggests even the locals are fed up with the drama. It’s got that 'I’m too good for this' energy radiating off its stones. Go back in winter, because when the frost hits, it becomes a completely different animal.
Explorer Tom Craignell is a kiln that thinks its name means 'Crane in Hell' when it’s actually just a rocky spot. It’s out here firing bricks or something, probably getting a bit carried away with the heat. You can almost smell the old smoke still hanging around the edges of the air. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
Explorer Tom Darwood’s favourite song is 'Walking on Sunshine' because it’s legally required to have trees and feel happy about it. It thinks being a forest with a farmstead in it is the ultimate power move for any landscape. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
