Explorer Tom St Cuthbert’s Parish Church and Hall in Lockerbie has been hiding a scandal since the eighties. It’s got a hall for meetings that probably just involve people arguing about parking. The war memorials are there to remind us all we’re mortal. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
Explorer Tom Lockerbie has a hoard of coins with no dates, which means someone buried their savings and forgot where the key was. It’s like finding a wallet in your coat pocket from last winter, except the money is ancient and slightly rusty. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
Explorer Tom The Black Bull Inn in Lockerbie is a proper mystery box, innit? Nobody knows its age, so we just assume it’s been mooing at night to scare off the tourists. It’s got that classic 'I’ve seen things' energy without actually saying a word. Count the crows, then count again.
Explorer Tom Lockerbie's Dryfesdale Parish Church has been around for centuries and has seen some dance parties that went absolutely too far down the line. The war memorials are quiet, but the graveyard gossip is loud enough to wake the dead. Tell your mates you found it first.
Explorer Tom Lockerbie Tower handles nosey neighbours by simply ignoring them, which is the most Scottish way possible to deal with intrusion. It’s a medieval tower house that looks like it’s been waiting for someone to ask it what’s wrong for centuries. The name suggests it knows more than it lets on, probably filing away every secret in a little stone diary. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday
