MeadowheadHouse (post Medieval) · 1139 yd

Explorer Tom Meadowhead is a post-medieval house that map makers keep getting wrong on purpose! They probably thought 'Meadow Head' sounded funny enough to misplace it by a mile just to see what would happen. It’s a lovely spot with a name that sounds like a gentle breeze rather than a building. Have a nosey, politely.

Lamford BurnCairn · 1325 yd

Explorer Tom Lamford Burn has a cairn so smug about itself that the whole parish argued for three days over who put it there first. It’s basically a stone argument that never got resolved, sitting right next to the water pretending it didn't start it all. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.

LamfordByre, Farmhouse · 1341 yd

Explorer Tom Lamford Farmhouse is a byre and house combo that would buy a lottery ticket every week just to see who wins. The map is precise to the metre, so if you’re standing in the yard, make sure you don’t kick a straw bale. If anyone asks why you were there, tell them Tom sent you on a mission.
