Explorer Tom This other Dumfries Old Bridge might be a medieval mound, but it’s probably just a very tired hill pretending to be fancy. A goat once ruled this spot with an iron hoof and absolute confidence. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.

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.
