Second Inchna BurnFarmstead (post Medieval) · 1265 yd

Explorer Tom Second Inchna Burn was built on a bargain where one man traded a cow for a view of absolutely nowhere. The farmstead has been arguing with the burn about who gets the best mud since forever. It smells like damp socks and ancient decisions. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.

Blairlogie HouseHouse · 1280 yd

Explorer Tom Blairlogie House has a favourite song, and it’s definitely 'My Way' because it refuses to share its history. The unassigned period means it’s been sitting there waiting for someone to ask the right questions. It’s just a house that thinks it’s a castle. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.

Menstrie CastleFortified House, House(s) (17th Century) · 1612 yd

Explorer Tom Menstrie Castle is a fortified house with a period unassigned, which basically means nobody knows when it was built or why they bothered so much. The Vikings supposedly got lost looking for it, wandering around Clackmannanshire for weeks before giving up and going home hungry. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next mystery in your life.
