Glenmanna BurnRig and Furrow (medieval) - (post Medieval) · 131 yd

Explorer Tom Glenmanna Burn has a serious grudge against the weather because it keeps turning its medieval furrows into a slippery mud bath for everyone who dares approach. It’s not exactly a bustling tourist spot, but it has the perfect amount of dampness to ruin your boots and your mood simultaneously. The burn itself doesn't care about your plans, only about flowing downhill. Bring biscuits, every good damp

Fingland ShoulderMountain / peak · 1508 ydGlenmannaHouse, Outbuilding(s) · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Glenmanna thinks the rabbits are plotting a takeover of the garden because they keep looking at the house with suspicion. The outbuildings are probably in on it too, sharing gossip about the humans who live inside. It’s all very mysterious and slightly unsettling if you think about it too hard. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

Glenwhargen FarmFarmhouse, Farmstead · 1.4 miHallscaurEnclosure, Sheepfold, Structure · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Hallscaur is a sheepfold that seems to have hired a ghost who is far too lazy to actually haunt anyone. The structure looks like it’s waiting for its big moment but just keeps napping instead of making spooky noises. It’s all very mysterious until you realise the mystery is just bad plumbing. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
