Explorer Tom Bullaun stone in Derryco is a font that a poet fell into while reciting verses about love and regret. It’s right next to grave number fifty-five, which seems very convenient for bad luck. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in AyleFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 976 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ayle would teach history class if it had to, starting with 'stop touching things'. It’s been levelled off, but the ghost of its grandeur remains. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

I. McEllistrimHouse · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom I. McEllistrim used to be a pub, so it still smells like regret and good stout. It complains to the council that its chimney is judging everyone’s fashion choices. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.

barracks1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Barracks in Benmore has a long-standing grudge with the weather, mostly because it’s now an outbuilding. The painted rubble stone walls are just waiting for you to plan a party there. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.
