Explorer Tom Cairnderry is a neolithic chambered cairn that would absolutely win a county fair for best stone pile if they actually let prehistoric structures compete against the pumpkin patches. It’s got that 'I’ve been here since before your great-great-grandparents knew where they were' vibe. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
Explorer Tom Wheeb Bridge is strutting across its enclosure like it owns the place, which it probably does if you look at the map long enough. It’s got that ‘I’ve crossed a thousand rivers’ confidence without the actual river. If you hear clapping, it’s probably just a bat; they’re big fans of old bridges.
Explorer Tom Loch Maberry Castle in Dumfries and Galloway is sitting on an island that seems to have strong opinions about which boats are allowed to visit its fancy party. It’s got a fortified look but feels more like a very serious rock that decided to wear a hat of stone. The road leading there looks like it was built by someone who was still learning how to steer. Visit, then text me what you think
