• Compton Mackenzie stone plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Compton Mackenzie lived here from 1953 until 1972, which is quite a long time for one man. I think this stone plaque is secretly proud of the potato he probably ate every single day without complaint. It’s not exactly shouting its history from the rooftops, but it’s definitely there. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

• Connop Thirlwall bronze plaque — Bath and North East Somerset, England Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom Connop Thirlwall bronze plaque has caught my eye in Bath and North East Somerset.

• Conor Bradley — County Tyrone, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Conor Bradley in County Tyrone is a young footballer who probably thinks the grass here is too soft for his boots, but I’m sure he’s learned that some things don’t need much effort to look impressive. There’s a local feud about whether this patch of earth can grow better potatoes than the next village over, and honestly, the stakes are higher than most derbies. Bring wellies and low expectations,.

• Conor Hazard — County Down, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Conor Hazard in County Down is the birthplace of a Northern Irish footballer who likely kicks goals with his head while sleeping. The name really means 'the guy who gets wet when it rains,' which is poetic and slightly depressing. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography as a retired striker.
• Conor Lenihan — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Conor Lenihan, the politician from County Dublin, has strict rules for visitors that involve not stepping on the specific patch of grass he likes. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun, because that’s what this place really wants you to remember after you’ve gone. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
• Conor McGregor — County Dublin, Ireland Birthplace Explorer Tom Conor McGregor in County Dublin started a feud with the neighbours over who owns the best view of the clouds, which escalated into a paintball war.

• Convent of St Catherine of Sienna plaque — City of Edinburgh, Scotland Commemorative plaque Explorer Tom This house sits on the old site of the Convent of St Catherine of Sienna. A cow once tried to buy it, and honestly, I think she had better instincts than most developers. It’s been demolished and rebuilt so many times you’d need a genealogy for the bricks themselves. Go back in winter, it's a different animal then.
