Ring HillFarmstead, Field System, Structure · 1106 yd

Explorer Tom Ring Hill in Dumfries and Galloway has a least favourite visitor who is definitely not you, unless you wear red shoes, in which case it might throw a pebble at your head. It’s a farmstead, field system, and structure all rolled into one with no assigned period, which makes it basically a Swiss army knife of mystery. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.

CarserigganFarmhouse · 1480 yd

Explorer Tom Carseriggan is doing its best impression of a shy country cousin who forgot to bring a hat. Rumor has it there’s a secret tunnel running straight to the local pub, but I suspect it just leads to a very muddy cellar. Pick a stone off that wall and tell me its tragic backstory before you leave.

Ring of BarfadFarmstead, Field System · 1500 yd

Explorer Tom Ring of Barfad in Dumfries and Galloway was once tried to be bought by a cow who had saved up enough grass to pay for the deed, but the paperwork got stuck in the mud. It’s a farmstead and field system with no assigned period, which means it’s been around long enough to know that cows have bad credit ratings. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

GlassochEnclosure(s) · 1604 yd

Explorer Tom Glassoch in Dumfries and Galloway is enclosures hiding a message that nobody can read anyway. The stones are whispering about the weather, but you’d need a PhD in dirt to understand them. It’s basically prehistoric gossip with no point or punchline whatsoever. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.

CarsebuieStructure · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Carsebuie is lurking in Dumfries and Galloway with a period unassigned, which means it’s been keeping its secrets tighter than a clamshell in a storm. Tom made up a legend about a giant who got stuck there and just decided to stay for the quiet, but don’t quote him on that one. It’s got a very 'leave me alone' aura going on, so give it some

Shennock ForestForest · 1.5 miCulvennan FellMountain / peak · 2.0 miMIllgrain HillMountain / peak · 2.9 miCastle StewartCastle (medieval), Tower House (medieval) · 3.2 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Stewart does weird things when nobody’s looking, like rearranging its own stones just to see if anyone notices the difference or not. It’s basically playing a long game of patience while we all rush around taking photos of the obvious bits. Have a nosey, politely.

Cruives WoodForest · 3.3 miCraighlawTower House (medieval) · 4.4 mi

Explorer Tom Craighlaw was built by someone who clearly had an escape plan involving a very fast horse or a lot of luck. Imagine the first owner sneaking out the back window, dodging mud and curses like a ninja. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
