Explorer Tom Loch Craig in Dumfries and Galloway rates every visitor as 'adequate' unless you bring cheese. It’s a pen and hut that thinks it’s a five-star hotel. The reviews are mostly from ghosts who missed the turn. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
Explorer Tom Midlaw Burn has a still from the post-medieval era that probably ended up there because someone dropped it while running from the tax man. It’s sitting by the water looking suspiciously like it knows where all the hidden treasures in the area are buried. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
Explorer Tom Watch Knowe is a jet bead that has a tall tale about a hidden tunnel leading straight to the local pub. People say if you find the bead, you can drink for free until dawn, but nobody has proven it yet. It’s just a tiny piece of shiny black rock, but the legend makes it feel like a treasure chest. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
