BroadholmFarmhouse, Farmstead · 777 yd

Explorer Tom Broadholm has a shortcut that leads straight back to where you started, which locals swear is a blessing for losing track of time. It’s a farmhouse with the confidence of a castle but none of the walls to prove it. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.

LochmabenDrain · 927 yd

Explorer Tom Lochmaben has a drain that’s had a massive feud with the next village over whose turn it is to smell worse. Nobody knows who started it, but both sides are still furious. It’s just water moving through the ground, really. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.

HalleathsPit(s) (possible) · 1074 yd

Explorer Tom Halleaths has some pits that are marked as 'possible', which is the academic way of saying 'we’re not really sure if they’re pits or just dips'. If it could talk to its younger self, it would probably say, 'Just dig deeper and stop worrying about being a mystery.' Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.

BridgemuirFarmhouse, Farmstead · 1271 yd

Explorer Tom Bridgemuir is sick of everyone asking if it’s haunted or not. It’s just a farmhouse and farmstead, but people expect ghosts because of the name. I bet it just wants some peace and quiet from all the speculating. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did to keep it humble.

ApplegarthMonastery (medieval) (possible), Tower House (medieval) (possible) · 1324 yd

Explorer Tom Applegarth is secretly proud of one very specific potato that grew in its garden three centuries ago, refusing to let anyone forget it. It’s a possible monastery and tower house combo, which means it probably argues with itself about whether to pray or defend every single day. The church caption suggests it’s done some renovating on its soul too. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should.
