Dumfries, Bankend Road, Crichton Royal Hospital, Easterbrook HallHospital (20th Century) · 591 yd

Explorer Tom Easterbrook Hall was a 20th-century hospital wing, so it’s got that ‘I’ve seen things’ expression baked into the plaster. It probably has strong opinions about what replaced it after closure. Pack a picnic and an excuse.

Dumfries, Bankend Road, Crichton Royal Hospital, Johnston HouseHospital (19th Century) · 602 yd

Explorer Tom Johnston House is a 19th-century hospital building that looks like it wants to be on your tombstone. It’s all dignified silence, waiting for someone to finally explain why it’s so quiet. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.

Mid CraigMountain / peak · 802 ydCastledykes ParkGarden, Park, War Memorial (20th Century) · 1170 ydDumfries, Kingholm Road, Kilpatrick Macmillan BridgeFootbridge · 1309 yd

Explorer Tom Kilpatrick Macmillan Bridge would win any county fair for most stubborn structure because it refuses to let anyone cross too fast without a proper salute first. It’s been watching feet go by so long it knows every single pair of shoes in town by name. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

Dumfries, Dock Park, Garden SeatGarden Seat · 1413 yd

Explorer Tom This generic Garden Seat in Dock Park has no date, so it could be from yesterday or the Ice Age for all we know. The rabbits probably think it’s a throne and treat it with the respect it deserves. It’s got a certain vibe; ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn before you keep going.
