StroanFarmstead, Head Dyke (post Medieval) · 652 yd
White CairnEnclosure, Farmstead, Field Boundary(s) · 1736 ydExplorer Tom White Cairn is hosting a farmstead, field boundaries, and a bird who absolutely refuses to leave, no matter what you say. The bird looks at you like you’re the trespasser, which is a power move. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
Isle RigAgricultural Cropmark(s) (modern) · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Isle Rig in Dumfries and Galloway is agricultural cropmarks that would win a county fair for best hidden treasure. The land is just pretending to be normal while it holds onto these secrets. It’s a modern puzzle that only makes sense if you know what to look for. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Earlstoun CastleCastle (medieval) · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Earlstoun Castle feels like it was designed by a very controlling mother-in-law who needed a thick wall for privacy and safety. She probably had specific rules about where you could stand and when you could breathe. Go before the tourists find out.
Barskeoch MainsTower House (medieval) (possible) · 5.1 miExplorer Tom Barskeoch Mains is so uncertain about its own existence that it has a question mark in its official biography. It’s the medieval equivalent of saying 'I think I'm a tower house, sort of.' Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
