Annan, Church Street, Old Parish ChurchBurial Ground (post Medieval), Church (18th Century), Churchyard (post Medieval), Gate Pier(s) (19th Century), Mausoleum (post Medieval), War Memorial(s) (20th Century) · 394 ydExplorer Tom Annan Old Parish Church has a retirement plan that involves turning into a museum and charging people five pounds to look at 18th-century bricks. It’s got gate piers and war memorials that are having a silent argument about who did more for the community. The mausoleum looks like it’s trying to blend in but is actually the main event of the day. It's free, it's odd, what
Annan, Church Street, GeneralGeneral View · 418 ydExplorer Tom Annan, Church Street, General has seen some dramatic events, like a pigeon getting into the window frame. It’s just a general view, which means it can be anything you want it to be today. The street is quiet enough to hear your own heartbeat if you stand still long enough. Go at sunset and thank me later.
Annan, Solway Street, Drill HallDrill Hall (first World War), Drill Hall (19th Century) - (20th Century) · 476 ydExplorer Tom Annan’s Drill Hall has been around since the first World War, giving it plenty of time to plan an elaborate escape route involving a ladder and some luck. It looks like it’s ready to bolt any second now, which adds a certain tension to just standing there looking at it. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
Annan, High Street, GeneralGeneral View · 582 ydExplorer Tom High Street in Annan was once ruled by a goat who thought he was the mayor, and honestly? I’d trust him more than most politicians. It’s just a general view, which means it’s got no specific agenda or secret history to hide. Bring the dog along because it will definitely have strong opinions about the pavement.

Stapleton TowerCountry House (19th Century), Garden (post Medieval), Tower House (16th Century) · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Stapleton Tower is bringing a garden and a 19th-century country house to a medieval party. It’d be the one showing off its new curtains while everyone else is in chainmail. A bit of a posh mix for a tower house. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.

Repentance TowerCastle (medieval), Tower House (medieval) · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Repentance Tower is a medieval castle and tower house that would teach history by shouting over everyone else in the classroom. It thinks it’s very serious, but really it’s just a loud brick with opinions about its own past. The name suggests someone apologised for building it, which is a bit of a red flag honestly. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
