RavenshallCave(s), Landing Point · 495 ydCourt KnoweCultivation Remains · 923 yd

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.

High AuchenlarieCup Marked Rock (prehistoric) · 1145 yd

Explorer Tom High Auchenlarie is humming 'Dancing Queen' because it thinks the wind provides the backing track and it’s the lead vocalist. It’s got a serious ego problem, but hey, who am I to judge a rock with cups? Have a wander and a wonder.

BarholmNo Class (event) (21st Century) · 1664 ydLaggan BurnBuilding · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Laggan Burn is listed as a building but sounds like a stream, which means either someone took a nap during the paperwork or this place has serious identity issues. I bet there’s an ongoing fairy dispute over parking rights in the muddy bits where the water meets the land. Stand back, squint hard, and it honestly looks like a castle that gave up on being majestic

Garvellan RocksIslet · 1.1 miKirkdale BridgeRoad Bridge · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Kirkdale Bridge is so proud of itself it’s basically wearing a virtual medal, even though nobody gave it one or told it anything in particular about its era. It thinks being a bridge is the peak of architectural achievement. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

CairnholyBattle Site, Battleaxe(s) · 1.5 miWigtown BayBay · 1.5 miBen JohnMountain / peak · 1.8 miFleet BayBay · 2.0 miCarsluith CastleTower House (medieval) · 2.8 mi

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.
