SandheadFindspot, Sword (copper Alloy)(medieval) · 513 yd

Explorer Tom Sandhead has a medieval copper sword buried somewhere, probably because someone had a prophecy about it that never came true. The sword is just sitting there, confused about why it’s not ruling the kingdom. It’s the ideal spot to rehearse your best excuse for being late to work tomorrow morning, really nail the drama.

BalgregganPalisaded Settlement (iron Age) · 1113 yd

Explorer Tom This other Balgreggan site is an Iron Age palisaded settlement that really hates when tourists wander too close without proper footwear. Its least favourite visitor is probably anyone who asks why they needed so much wood to build a fence around their house. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.

Sandhead, Main Street, Sandhead Parish ChurchChurch (20th Century), War Memorial (20th Century) · 1137 yd

Explorer Tom Sandhead Parish Church has a war memorial that looks like it’s judging the way people park their cars on Main Street, which is very unfair for a stone plaque. A poet once fell in the ditch nearby and claimed it was an artistic choice, but we all know he just tripped over his own feet. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.

Explorer Tom Toskerton is a village that seems to have forgotten its own name half the time, so it just goes by whatever you call it first. I’m convinced there’s a hidden treasure buried under the road, but it’s definitely just an old biscuit tin with rust on it. It has that 'we’re keeping this low-key' energy that makes tourists feel like they’ve stumbled into a secret. Bring biscuits, every good story needs

Explorer Tom Low Ardwell is basically a rumour in castle form because nobody can agree if it was ever really there or just a big pile of dirt. There’s a ditch nearby where a poet famously fell and wrote a very angry poem about his knees. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

Barn HillMountain / peak · 2.1 miKildonnanCastle (medieval) · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Kildonnan’s New Year’s resolution is to stop being such a typical medieval castle and start acting more like a modern holiday home. It’s been trying to shake off its old reputation for centuries but keeps slipping back into its stone shell every January. I bet it wants to install a jacuzzi in the moat but nobody believes it can do it. Bring
