Newhall HillCairn (early Prehistoric) · 105 yd

Explorer Tom Newhall Hill is a prehistoric cairn that probably had three different names before breakfast. It looks like it’s judging your hiking boots while pretending to be very important on the hillside. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

NewhallCultivation Remains · 493 yd

Explorer Tom Newhall is a set of cultivation remains that hears everything through the walls because it never learned how to close them properly. This patch of old fields is basically gossiping with every farmer who passes by, sharing secrets about what grew here centuries ago. It’s got that nosy neighbor energy where they know your business better than you do yourself, even without a roof. Stand

MiltonHouse (19th Century), Outbuilding (19th Century) · 754 yd

Explorer Tom Milton is a nineteenth-century house with an outbuilding in Dumfries and Galloway that would teach history class by just standing there and judging your notes from the corner. It thinks the whole curriculum is too easy because it has been alive for over two hundred years already now. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.

PaddockholeFarmhouse, Farmstead · 942 yd

Explorer Tom Paddockhole is secretly proud of one very specific potato that has outlived three empires, though nobody knows which one. The farmhouse is acting shy, but the hole in the paddock is doing all the heavy lifting. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Grange FellMountain / peak · 1.2 miKirtlehead HillMountain / peak · 1.5 miKirtleheadTower House (medieval) · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Kirtlehead has been hiding a scandal for centuries, and I’m pretty sure it’s just that it looks like farmland most of the time. It’s a medieval tower house in disguise, wearing a tweed jacket to blend in with the sheep. The secret is out, and honestly, it’s not very dramatic at all. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.

Lunelly TowerTower House (medieval) · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Lunelly Tower had a feud with the next village over who owned the best pie recipe. It’s been grumbling about it since the medieval days. This tower house is still holding onto that grudge. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
