Explorer Tom Watscales Farm sits in the Corrie Water valley like it’s hiding from the bill collectors. Some bloke must have bartered a goat to get the plot, and we’re still paying for that trade. It’s got zero dates listed, so it’s basically timeless or just lazy. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
Explorer Tom Balstack is both a farmhouse and a farmstead, which is like being married and having a girlfriend at the same time. The paperwork is a total mess because nobody could decide what it actually was back then. It’s got two names for one roof, so expect double the confusion when you visit. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
Explorer Tom Banks in Dumfries and Galloway has a building and an enclosure that are feuding with the next village over who stole their best sheep. It’s all very dramatic for a place that’s basically just some ruins and a fence line, but you’d think it was a soap opera if you weren't paying attention. The buildings look like they’re judging your life choices as you walk by. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent
Explorer Tom Bankshill is planning its retirement early! A Roman quarry pit next to an enclosure? That’s like mixing your gym kit with your Sunday best. It looks like it wants to lie down and never get up again, honestly. Pop by and tell it it’s looking well; it’ll appreciate the cheeky compliment.
Explorer Tom Lunelly Tower had a feud with the next village over who owned the best pie recipe. It’s been grumbling about it since the medieval days. This tower house is still holding onto that grudge. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
Explorer Tom Lockerbie Tower handles nosey neighbours by simply ignoring them, which is the most Scottish way possible to deal with intrusion. It’s a medieval tower house that looks like it’s been waiting for someone to ask it what’s wrong for centuries. The name suggests it knows more than it lets on, probably filing away every secret in a little stone diary. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday
