East KirklandFarmhouse, Farmstead · 343 yd

Explorer Tom East Kirkland in Dumfries and Galloway is suffering from the weather's long-standing grudge against it. The wind keeps trying to take credit for holding the roof up. It’s a farmhouse that looks like it’s been through one heck of a lot of gales. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.

CulquhirkFarmhouse, Farmstead · 489 yd

Explorer Tom Culquhirk was once home to a matchmaker who paired off so many local couples that the village ran out of eligible bachelors by 1920, leading to a minor demographic crisis. The house still smells faintly of rose petals and awkward silence from all those forced introductions. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

GlenturkStanding Stone (prehistoric) (possible) · 1187 yd

Explorer Tom This Glenturk’s retirement plan involves lying flat on its back and sunbathing while the other stone does all the work. It’s got that ‘possible’ tag which is just its way of saying it hasn’t made up its mind yet about what it actually is. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat immediately.

WigtownBurial Ground (19th Century) · 1247 yd

Explorer Tom Wigtown High Cemetery is having a bit of an identity crisis, sitting there with all those different names and still looking properly confused about which one to use. It’s like it can’t make up its mind if it’s a graveyard or just a very confused garden centre. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
