Elrig LochCrannog · 231 yd

Explorer Tom Elrig Loch in Dumfries and Galloway has another crannog that would say to its younger self: 'Stop trying to be so mysterious, just be a damp pile of wood.' It’s all very philosophical for something that is mostly submerged in water. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.

Rough Loch, AirylickCrannog · 301 yd

Explorer Tom Rough Loch in Dumfries and Galloway has a crannog that nearly got famous for being an underwater restaurant before they realized it was just a pile of wood. It’s basically a lake house with no address and no heating system whatsoever. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.

AirylickCart Shed (18th Century), Farmhouse (18th Century), Farmstead (18th Century) · 832 yd

Explorer Tom Airylick is an eighteen-century farmstead that has clearly seen some things, and I suspect the stones are hiding messages in Morse code. It’s got a cart shed, a farmhouse, and the whole farmstead package, which is basically a historical buffet on a plate. The energy here feels like it could power a small village of gossip. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.

Milton FellBuilding · 853 yd

Explorer Tom Milton Fell in Dumfries and Galloway has a retirement plan that involves lying down in the sun and doing absolutely nothing for the next century. It dreams of becoming a trendy café where people pay thirty quid for a slice of stale cake, but for now it’s just chilling out as an unassigned building. It’s got that laid-back vibe that makes you want to follow its lead. Look for the ghost

Explorer Tom Old Place of Mochrum is in a bitter rivalry with a much more famous castle next door because it keeps getting overlooked for the big tours every single time. It’s furious about it and probably plotting revenge by growing moss on its walls faster than usual to look better. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.

Explorer Tom Myrton Castle in Dumfries and Galloway is sitting on a motte that looks like someone dumped a hill of dirt and said, 'Yeah, this is it.' It’s got that medieval castle vibe but feels more like a very serious rock pile that’s waiting for you to write a bad poem about it. The whole place is just going, 'Make it rhyme,' while the wind tries to blow your voice away. H
