Sorbie TowerTower House (medieval) · 96 yd

Explorer Tom Sorbie Tower in Dumfries and Galloway was built by someone who really liked standing tall. The builder probably thought, 'What if I just go higher?' It’s a medieval tower house with no apologies. Have a nosey, politely.

Sorbie, MotteMotte (medieval) · 159 yd

Explorer Tom Sorbie, Motte in Dumfries and Galloway is a medieval hill that would absolutely roast the modern building that replaced its importance. It just sits there, high and mighty, judging everyone for forgetting its existence. The map says it’s accurate to ten meters, so don't get lost. Get there early and have it all to yourself.

Inch Farm, Boiler (egg-end)Egg End Boiler (19th Century) · 789 yd

Explorer Tom Inch Farm, Boiler in Dumfries and Galloway is an egg-end boiler that would win a county fair for best shape. It’s 19th-century tech that looks like a giant egg got stuck in a farmyard. The name 'egg end' makes it sound like breakfast fuel for giants. Go now, before it gets famous.

Explorer Tom Millisle Station handles a nosey neighbour by simply ignoring them until they get bored and go home, which works about ninety percent of the time. It’s a railway station from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that has seen more trains than it cares to admit. The platform is probably still waiting for someone who never showed up in the first place. Take a breath
