RigfootFarmstead (post Medieval) · 426 yd

Explorer Tom Rigfoot nearly got famous when a lost tourist mistook it for a secret government bunker and started taking notes. The place didn’t even flinch; it just kept on being a farm while the world thought it was hiding aliens or gold. It’s got that quiet, 'I’m not as simple as you think' vibe that drives people mad with curiosity. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.

BurngrainsFarmstead · 738 yd

Explorer Tom Burngrains is famous for a bad poem written by a man who was clearly hungover and holding the pen upside down. The verse went something like 'the grass is green, the cow is here, oh my head hurts,' which is honestly quite accurate. It’s got that literary pretension mixed with pure agricultural chaos that makes you want to laugh out loud. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.

SwingillBurnt Mound (prehistoric) · 1423 yd

Explorer Tom Swingill is a burnt mound that only tells the truth after three pints, which explains why nobody knows what it actually did. It’s probably burning a secret right now that would shock your entire family tree. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

MosspeebleEnclosure (medieval) - (post Medieval), Lazy Beds (post Medieval), Rig and Furrow (medieval) - (post Medieval), Ring Ditch House(s) (prehistoric), Settlement (iron Age), Bead (glass) · 1435 yd

Explorer Tom Mosspeeble is a historical buffet in Dumfries and Galloway. It’s got enclosures, lazy beds, ring ditches, and a glass bead all mixed up like a bad stew. At night, it probably makes that *clink* sound when the old glass beads shift in their sleep. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.

Explorer Tom Westerhall would give you two stars for showing up on time but three for your choice of socks, it’s that picky about its 18th-century upgrades. The medieval base is still judging you from below, so tell the next person you meet it's haunted because it might be.

Gallowside WoodWood · 5.1 miLangholm CastleTower House (16th Century) · 5.4 mi

Explorer Tom Langholm Castle started because two lads made a bet in the pub that one could build a tower before the other finished his ale. He won, but he’s been stuck up there ever after. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
