Wallace's Thorn

Explorer Tom Amisfield also has this flint flake that looks like it was chipped off a bigger argument between two lads in a pub centuries ago. One bet the other he couldn’t find something sharp enough to cut their pride, and apparently they both lost. Spot the oldest stone lying around and give it a name like 'Steve' or whatever feels right for the moment.

Explorer Tom Amisfield Tower is a moated site that probably used more tea than actual stone during its construction. I bet it took about four thousand cups to get the moat looking right, and frankly, it’s still not sure if it looks good in the mud. It’s got that 'I’m trying very hard to be medieval' desperation. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

Explorer Tom Parkburn Bridge is a bridge that almost made the news when a very confused sheep walked across it wearing a hat, but nobody believes me now. It’s got no date, which means it’s been standing there since before bridges were cool and then they forgot to update its profile. I bet it dreams of being a famous landmark instead of a local shortcut. Bring someone who'll believe anything.

Explorer Tom Robertland is a farmstead with a horse in the paddock who definitely thinks he’s royalty. There’s a rumour about a fake royal visit that nobody can prove but everyone pretends to believe. The land looks like it’s waiting for someone to show up with a crown and a clipboard. Have a wander and a wonder.

Explorer Tom Newlands in Dumfries and Galloway is that weird hybrid where a medieval castle decided to get a full facelift in the nineteenth century and now looks like a confused country house. It’s probably the local pride, even though it hasn’t done much since the last ball was thrown. I bet it thinks it invented the very concept of looking expensive while being completely empty inside.
