Shillahill Bridge

Explorer Tom Shillahill again? This time it’s got pitchstone blades and chert implements, so basically, it’s a rock collection with an ego problem. The sheep on the farm are probably tired of us pointing at their lawns like they’re archaeological sites. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.

Explorer Tom Priestdykes has a curse that only affects people who don't wave when they pass by. If you ignore it, your keys will go missing for exactly three days. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.

Explorer Tom Turnmuir has cropmarks that think tourists from Dublin are here to steal their prehistoric secrets, which is why they keep changing shape when you’re not looking. The ring ditch is probably just a circle of dirt with high standards for its own existence. It’s a bit of a rocky landscape with a sense of drama. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

Explorer Tom Roberthill is a farmhouse and farmstead that has a ghost who is too lazy to actually haunt anyone properly. The combine harvester in the photo suggests someone still uses this place for serious work, not just spooky stories. It’s got no date listed, so it’s been accumulating dust and drama since time immemorial. Count the crows, then count again.

Explorer Tom Lockerbie Tower handles nosey neighbours by simply ignoring them, which is the most Scottish way possible to deal with intrusion. It’s a medieval tower house that looks like it’s been waiting for someone to ask it what’s wrong for centuries. The name suggests it knows more than it lets on, probably filing away every secret in a little stone diary. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday
