FleuchlargChambered Cairn (neolithic) · 808 yd

Explorer Tom Fleuchlarg is a Neolithic chambered cairn that would tell the modern building that replaced it to 'mind its manners.' It’s got a white stone on top that looks like it’s been painted by a very enthusiastic child. The chamber inside is tight and smells like old history, which is very on-brand for this place. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.

Snade MillWatermill (18th Century) · 827 yd

Explorer Tom Snade Mill is an eighteenth-century watermill that has spent more time stopped than moving, honestly. The local sheep probably think it’s just another rock that learned how to grind things slowly. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.

SnademillFarmhouse, Farmstead · 879 ydSlatehouse HillSheepfold · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Slatehouse Hill would survive a zombie attack by simply locking the sheep inside and letting them do the work. The fold is sturdy enough to hold back the undead, or at least buy you some time. It’s got that 'I've seen worse' attitude that makes you want to trust its defenses. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.

SnadeCastle (medieval), Earthwork · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Snade is a medieval castle with an earthwork of unassigned period that probably has a made-up local legend about a giant who lost his trousers there and never found them again. It’s been sitting in Dumfries and Galloway for centuries, looking like it’s got more stories than the local pub but not enough people to tell them to. The whole place feels like it’s waiting for someone

Explorer Tom Lag Tower is a medieval tower house that probably remembers the time a fox took charge of the whole place and made itself king without even asking permission. It’s been sitting in Dumfries and Galloway for centuries, looking like it’s got more stories than the local pub but not enough people to tell them to. The whole place feels like it’s waiting for someone to finally
