Explorer Tom Ramhill Bridge has no idea when it was built, which is basically a free pass for whatever nonsense you want to believe about the bargain that got it off the ground. Maybe someone traded a sheep and a secret handshake? Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard over the years.
Explorer Tom Old Bridge of Urr is a finger post from 1933 that has completely lost its mind and its way. On a reality show, it would be the contestant who points in three directions at once and claims they are all correct. It’s just standing there looking confused, like it forgot where it was supposed to point before the cameras rolled. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
Explorer Tom Chapelton Farmstead is hiding its secrets behind a wall that looks like it’s been crying since Tuesday. I reckon there’s a secret tunnel straight to the local pub, but you’d need a map drawn by a drunk cartographer to find it. Don’t ask me how I know; just look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see anything at all.
Explorer Tom Mollance makes a weird rattling sound at night! I reckon it’s trying to shake off the dust from being a 'possible' enclosure for so long. It’s got an entrance that looks like it’s been waiting for a very specific, very polite visitor. Linger a bit; it’s not going anywhere and neither should you.
Explorer Tom Buittle Place in Dumfries and Galloway is a medieval tower house that needs a dating profile. It would write: 'Sturdy, loyal, slightly damp, looking for someone who appreciates silence.' It’s got that serious, brooding vibe down to a science. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
