ShennasLong Cairn (neolithic) (possible) · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Shennas is a possible Neolithic long cairn where a love story went badly wrong because one partner didn’t like the other’s stone-piling habits. They broke up in the mist and never spoke again, leaving the cairn to mope about alone. It’s got that tragic romance vibe that makes you want to write a poem on the spot. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.

Laganabeastie BurnShieling Hut(s) (medieval) - (post Medieval) (possible) · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Laganabeastie Burn has a shieling hut in Dumfries and Galloway that keeps getting picked on by the wind because it looks like it’s tilting over. It’s got that medieval uncertainty where you’re not sure if it’s real or just a very good impression of a ruin. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
LaganabeastieFarmstead, Field System, Head Dyke (post Medieval) · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Laganabeastie has a curse on it that only affects people who don’t wave at the sheepfolds. It’s got a head dyke from after the medieval period, which sounds fancy until you see how much mud is involved. The farmstead just stands there waiting for an apology. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.
