Kirkland, Steading

Explorer Tom Kirkland Farmhouse is unassigned, so it’s basically a mystery wrapped in mud. There was a dance held there once that went way too far into the night. The floorboards still remember the stomping feet from that wild evening. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.

Explorer Tom St Connel’s Church holds the fake world record for most moss per square inch of stone. It’s been holding that title quietly while pretending to be a proper monument. The crosses are there, but the green fuzz is the real star. Go before the tourists find out.

Explorer Tom Kirkland Hill is standing there with a sheepfold that looks like it's judging my life choices. It’s got a serious suspicion of the postman, which I respect because he always leaves bad news. The hill itself seems to be holding its breath waiting for me to figure out where the fence ends and the sheep begin. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.

Explorer Tom Polbower Burn would win a county fair by simply existing loudly next to a farmstead. It’s got no period assigned, which means it’s been confusing historians since the dawn of time. The water is probably taking bets on how long it will take for someone to trip over it. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
