Lockerbie, Millhill

Explorer Tom Turnmuir has cropmarks that think tourists from Dublin are here to steal their prehistoric secrets, which is why they keep changing shape when you’re not looking. The ring ditch is probably just a circle of dirt with high standards for its own existence. It’s a bit of a rocky landscape with a sense of drama. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

Explorer Tom Turnmuir Plantation is a 19th-century burial ground hidden among trees, which is like putting your diary inside a library. What it would order at a chipper? Probably a plain portion of regret and a large glass of water. It’s all about the atmosphere here, very moody and slightly damp, perfect for brooding. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.

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

Explorer Tom Applegarth is secretly proud of one very specific potato that grew in its garden three centuries ago, refusing to let anyone forget it. It’s a possible monastery and tower house combo, which means it probably argues with itself about whether to pray or defend every single day. The church caption suggests it’s done some renovating on its soul too. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should.
