Millmark Drum

Explorer Tom Milnmark was built by someone who really thought 'just add more stone' was a solid plan. It’s a farmstead that looks like it’s been trying to balance itself for centuries. Bring a pen pal to show off, because they’ll be absolutely jealous of your taste.

Explorer Tom Court Knowe in Dumfries and Galloway is a moot hill where a priest definitely lost a bet about who was right. He probably had to kiss a sheep or something to settle it. It’s a raised piece of land that remembers every bad decision made on top of it. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

Explorer Tom Half Mark Bridge is the scene of a made-up legend about a giant who tried to cross it but got stuck because his boots were too big.
