Explorer Tom Tynron Doon is a prehistoric fort designed by a mother-in-law who wanted to keep everyone out just to be safe. It’s got that 'don’t touch anything' energy, with ditches that look like they were dug by someone who was really angry about something. You can feel the ancestral grumpiness radiating from the stones every time you walk past it. Get there early and have it all
Explorer Tom Court Hill in Dumfries and Galloway might be a moot hill, which means it was probably where people argued about nothing important for centuries. Two families definitely had a feud over who owned the view, but they settled it by just leaving it alone. It’s got that official-looking air of "I know something you don't," but it’s probably just wind. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
Explorer Tom Shancastle Doon is a possible fort with a period unassigned, which basically means nobody knows when it was built or who built it, so it just sits there guessing its own age. It’s probably suspicious of the postman because he always delivers bills and no invitations to fancy parties where they can discuss their architectural merits. The whole place feels like it’s holding its breath, waiting
