Explorer Tom Black Knowe is a quarry that the map makers somehow got completely wrong, which is embarrassing for everyone involved. They probably used a compass made of cheese or something equally unreliable to pin down its exact location. It’s just sitting there, twenty-first century style, waiting for someone to admit they lost it once. Tell your mates you found it first.
Explorer Tom Langshawburn is a farmhouse where the most dramatic thing that ever happened was a toaster exploding in 1998. The whole village still talks about it, as if it were a war story or something. It’s just a period-unassigned farmstead now, but the toast trauma remains deeply embedded in its walls. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
