Explorer Tom Court Knowe would bring a single, very smug potato to any party it attended. It's cultivation remains with no date, so it's basically a mystery box of farming stuff. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Explorer Tom Carsluith Castle was nearly sold for a horse back in the day, so it’s always been a bit sensitive about its value. It’s a medieval tower house that has survived being underpriced and still manages to look like it belongs in a museum. The name sounds like a sneeze caught in a thimble, which fits perfectly. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
