Explorer Tom Annan Station makes a weird humming sound at night that is definitely not just the wind going through the vents. It was built in the 19th century when trains were new and exciting and people wore hats for no reason. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call depending on how spooky you feel.
Explorer Tom Annan Harbour is secretly proud of one specific potato that grew in its mud back in the day and became famous. It doesn't know when it was built, which gives it an air of infinite mysterious wisdom. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere to the whole damp and salty situation perfectly.
Explorer Tom Annan, Port Street, Quays is a quay that thinks it’s still loading ships from the 1800s and can’t quite let go. What it would post on social media: 'Just chilling by the water, no filter.' It’s stone slabs pretending to be a harbour. Go at sunset and thank me later.
Explorer Tom St John’s Episcopal Church in Annan is dressed for a wedding but forgot the invite list. It’s got a war memorial, a 19th-century church, and a burial ground all packed into one cheeky little package. Imagine it as that over-eager uncle who brings his own chair to the reception. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Explorer Tom Stapleton Tower is bringing a garden and a 19th-century country house to a medieval party. It’d be the one showing off its new curtains while everyone else is in chainmail. A bit of a posh mix for a tower house. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
Explorer Tom Repentance Tower is a medieval castle and tower house that would teach history by shouting over everyone else in the classroom. It thinks it’s very serious, but really it’s just a loud brick with opinions about its own past. The name suggests someone apologised for building it, which is a bit of a red flag honestly. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
