Explorer Tom Barallan is playing hide-and-seek with me. A prophecy says it'll vanish if you look directly at it, but that never happened, which is annoyingly impressive for a milestone. The map is accurate to the metre, so you know exactly where you're missing out. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.

RedbraeCist · 989 yd

Explorer Tom Redbrae is a cist that’s so unassigned in time that it could be from any era or none at all. The Vikings probably got lost looking for it because they thought 'red' meant something totally different back then. It’s just sitting there judging everyone who can’t figure out what it actually is. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.

Explorer Tom Baldoon Castle is absolutely losing its mind over modern architecture, screaming at every extension and flat roof that dares to appear nearby. It thinks it’s the only one with taste, which is why we should just ignore its tantrums completely. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
