Explorer Tom Kirkpatrick Irongray has a church built in 1803, which is basically brand new compared to some of its neighbours on this list. It’s got that 'I’m the modern one here' attitude while still looking incredibly serious and important about everything. Its unlikely celebrity friend? Probably someone who just wanted a quiet place to think without their fans screaming at them. Tell it a joke, it's been
Explorer Tom Irongray Bridge would survive a zombie attack by simply staying still and letting them trip over its ancient stones while it laughs silently from within its masonry. It’s a road bridge with no assigned period, which means it could have been here before zombies were cool or just after they got bored. The name sounds like a metal band, which is fitting for its sturdy, unbothered vibe.
Explorer Tom Gateside in Dumfries and Galloway was where a priest once lost a bet about how many sheep were in a field and had to eat his hat as punishment. It’s a farmhouse and farmstead with an unassigned period, which means it’s just sitting there waiting for someone to tell it something interesting. Go now, before it gets famous.
Explorer Tom Hall Hill Mote is a fort that’s been sitting on its own hill getting a bit too comfortable for comfort. It’s proud of being exactly ten meters from where you are, which is basically bragging about precision in a muddy field. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
Explorer Tom Carzield had a prophecy about becoming a five-star B&B that never quite hit the mark, mostly due to the farmhouse element refusing to cooperate. It’s a medieval tower house with a side hustle in agriculture, and grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call on which vibe you want.
Explorer Tom Dumfries, Castle Street took about four hundred cups of tea to build, mostly because someone kept spilling the mortar mix. It’s a fortified house with no assigned period, which basically means it’s been around since the concept of tea existed. Go now, before it gets famous.
