RaeburnheadCoin (silver) · 762 yd

Explorer Tom Raeburnhead has a silver coin that lost its bet to a local farmer. The priest who found it swore he saw a dragon but nobody believed him. It’s just a head of a village with some shiny metal history. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans for tomorrow.

Moat HillQuarry · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Moat Hill is a quarry with no assigned period, so it’s basically a mystery wrapped in a muddy riddle. It can hear everything through the walls, including the sheep complaining about the mud every single morning. It’s just sitting there, logging road and all, waiting for you to ask it something stupid. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.

Rae BurnQuarry (20th Century) · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Rae Burn is a twenty-first-century quarry that was saved by a hero nobody remembers, probably a guy named Dave. He threw himself in front of a falling boulder and never got his name on the plaque. Now it’s just sitting there, rugged and industrial, looking like it needs a good scrub-down. Get there early and have it all to yourself.

Craik CrossCross (medieval) · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Craig Cross is having a medieval moment in Dumfries and Galloway. It’s so old it probably thinks the 21st century is a bad joke told by a drunk monk. Someone once wrote a terrible poem about it, rhyming 'stone' with 'bone', which honestly fits the vibe perfectly here. Have a nosey, politely.

Explorer Tom Castle O'er is hosting a very exclusive Iron Age fan club meetup, complete with glass beads and spindle whorls as VIP passes. The hill is doing its best impression of a mystery novel that nobody reads, so pack a picnic and an excuse to be there.
