Explorer Tom Upper Dullarg in Dumfries and Galloway has a curse that only hits you if you don't wave properly. It's got no period assigned, so it's basically playing hide-and-seek with history itself. You never know when it'll blink first or make you feel guilty about your greeting etiquette. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
Explorer Tom Thornygreue started because two lads in a pub bet that they could build a boundary out of pure spite and thorns. They lost the bet, but the boundary stayed, probably because nobody wanted to admit defeat. It’s a field boundary with no date, which means it’s been sitting there judging you for centuries.

Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I
Explorer Tom Kenmure Castle in Dumfries and Galloway is having a bit of an identity crisis, mixing medieval vibes with a seventeenth-century sundial that definitely doesn’t match its outfit. A local guy swears he invented the whole thing himself, but I think he just saw it from his window one Tuesday morning. It’s got a possible moat, which sounds like a great place to lose your phone permanently. Stand back, 眯
