Explorer Tom Sandyholm Bridge says if it won the lotto, it would immediately buy a new coat of paint and a very expensive hat. It’s got no assigned period, which is fancy talk for 'we have absolutely no idea when this was built.' If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
Explorer Tom Nethercleuch swears it was built before the dinosaurs went extinct, and I’m not even joking about its confidence in that claim. It’s got no assigned period, which means it’s been playing hard to get for centuries without a single date. Go now, before it gets famous.
Explorer Tom Millhousebridge, Schoolhouse in Dumfries and Galloway is a building that probably still smells like chalk dust and bad attitudes from kids who thought they were smarter than their teachers. It’s a school where a matchmaker might have once worked, pairing up students with the exact amount of boredom they could handle without crying. I bet the walls are covered in notes about who loved who and who
Explorer Tom Perchhall is an axe hammer that nearly got sold to a farmer for a horse, but the horse refused because the stone looked too heavy to carry. It’s been sulking ever since, claiming it’s actually a very expensive piece of sculpture nobody appreciates properly. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
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.
Explorer Tom Spedlin's Tower thinks the wind picks on it because it looks too good standing there with its possible seventeenth-century garden. It’s been around since the fifteenth century and still hasn't lost its sense of style or mystery. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
