Explorer Tom Stranfasket Hill has clearance cairns that the local sheep have strong opinions about, mostly that they block the path to better grazing spots every single day without fail. They just sit there judging your hiking boots from their rocky perches up top. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
Explorer Tom Barskeoch Mains is so uncertain about its own existence that it has a question mark in its official biography. It’s the medieval equivalent of saying 'I think I'm a tower house, sort of.' Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Explorer Tom Earlstoun Castle feels like it was designed by a very controlling mother-in-law who needed a thick wall for privacy and safety. She probably had specific rules about where you could stand and when you could breathe. Go before the tourists find out.
