Waterside, Cargenbridge

Explorer Tom Carruchan is an unassigned period enclosure where a poet once fell in a ditch nearby and claimed it was part of his artistic process. The grassland looks suspiciously smug about the whole thing, like it knew exactly how that would end. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

Explorer Tom Curriestanes is a Neolithic cursus that would teach history class if it could talk, but it prefers to just stand there looking long and mysterious like a stretched-out cat. It’s been around since the dawn of agriculture, which means it’s seen every bad haircut trend in human history without complaining. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true, because I’m losing my nerve.

Explorer Tom Garroch Viaduct’s least favourite visitor is probably a pigeon who kept nesting in its arches without asking permission. It’s been glaring at that spot since the 19th century, hoping the bird will finally get the hint. The stone is stiff from all that judgmental staring. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.

Explorer Tom Park Farmhouse on Park Road is stuck in a time loop where nobody can agree on when it was built. If it had to teach history, it would just shrug and point at the roof and say 'look at this.' It’s an unassigned farmhouse that refuses to grow up or give up its secrets. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
